While testing the performance of the system was VERY slow. I could read from the server with about 500KB/s and write to it with 3,5MB/s on a 100MBit link. copying from the server: vr0 in 9.138 KB/s 26.394 KB/s 304.019 MB out 505.639 KB/s 505.639 KB/s 1.236 GB copying to the server: vr0 in 3.219 MB/s 3.219 MB/s 377.028 MB out 79.540 KB/s 79.540 KB/s 1.248 GB I then upgraded to 5.3-BETA4 which gives me the same results. Is there anything I'm missing here? The system is Athlon UP system with a via-rhine network card. I tried to set various sysctls e.g. vm.old_msync=1 and debug.mpsafenet=0 which did not help. One strange thing was that after some reboots I got once a rate of 9MB/s but after the next reboot this was gone :) Using FTP for data transport the rate is around 10Mb/s which is quite normal so this seems to be no NIC issue. -- Sascha
