Hi list
we have a FreeBSD 7.0 NFS client (csup today, built world and kernel).
It mounts a Solaris 10 NFS share.
We have bad performance with 7.0 (3MB/s).
We have tried both UDP and TCP mounts, both sync and async.
This is our mount:
nest.xx.xx:/data/export/hosts/bsd7.xx.xx/ /mnt/nest.xx.xx nfs
noatime,async,-i,rw,-T,-3
Both our server (7.0 and Solaris 10) are Gigabit Ethernet, both are HP
Proliant DL360 i386 (NIC bge0):

FreeBSD 7.0:

This is our performance with iozone:
command line:
iozone -+q 1 -i 0 -i 1 -n 2048 -g 2G -Raceb iozone.xls -f
/mnt/nest.xx.xx/iozone.bsd7/iozone.tmp

4096 4096 2829 3364 699351 699807
As you can see, while with record length less than 1024KB the speed is
'fast', with record of 2048 or more (I've tried with record much
bigger) we get only
3 MB/s.
Is this a known issue? If you need more details please contact me, I
am willing to do more tests to risolve this problem.
Thanks
