RELENG_7 amd64 2010/01/09 -- primary HTTP, pri DNS, SSH server + ZFS 515/1930/2445 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 512/540/1052/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 1152K/6394K/7547K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) RELENG_7 amd64 2010/01/11 -- secondary DNS, MySQL, dev box + ZFS 514/1151/1665 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 512/504/1016/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 1152K/2203K/3356K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) RELENG_7 i386 2008/04/19 -- secondary HTTP, SSH server, heavy memory I/O 515/820/1335 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 513/631/1144/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 1154K/2615K/3769K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) RELENG_8 amd64 2010/02/02 -- central backups + NFS+ZFS-based filer 1572/3423/4995 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 1539/3089/4628/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 3471K/7449K/10920K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) So, not much difference. I should point out that the NFS+ZFS-based filer doesn't actually do its backups using NFS; it uses rsnapshot (rsync) over SSH. There is intense network I/O during backup time though, depending on how much data there is to back up. The NFS mounts (on the clients) are only used to provide a way for people to get access to their nightly backups in a convenient way; it isn't used very heavily. I can do something NFS-intensive on any of the above clients if people want me to kind of testing. Possibly an rsync with a source of the NFS mount and a destination of the local disk would be a good test? Let me know if anyone's interested in me testing that. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
