give credit where credit is due.

recent NFS benchmarks are almost laughable.

time dd if=www2_otherlocal.tar.gz of=/dev/null bs=128k
219+1 records in
219+1 records out
28760021 bytes transferred in 3.411756 secs (8429683 bytes/sec)
0.000u 0.443s 0:03.42 12.8%     91+667k 0+17io 0pf+0w  

3.4 seconds (that's freebsd 3.0-current options: nfsv3,intr,tcp,rw,bg)

time dd if=www2_otherlocal.tar.gz of=/dev/null bs=128k
219+1 records in
219+1 records out
0.010u 1.550s 0:16.00 9.7%      0+0k 0+0io 84pf+0w  

an even 16 seconds (linux)  [Redhat 5.1] (dunno the opts)

this is on the same 100mbit segment.
i'm using NFS over TCP and linux is using UDP (i think)
both to the same Solaris 5.6 box.

the FreeBSD box is my tuning (just the mount opts listed above), the
redhat box has also been tuned by a linux user.  

i heard that linux now has kernel NFS but i doubt the stability and
performance since it's so new.

(still smirking)

and they wonder why i run freebsd on my workstation... *sigh*

if someone has a mount option for the linux box they'd like to share
_please_ respond privately, i'd appreciate it as well as those on the
list.
