Subject:   NFS problems -- performance degraded after upgrade to 4.7
Message-ID:  <3E11F479.90002@speakeasy.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello all,

I'm having some problems with nfs performance.  Here is a bit of background.
I have a fileserver running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE.  This has a 3ware
Escalade with 4 x 80GB Maxtors in a RAID 5 config.  I am exporting
/usr/ports, among other things - 5 exports total to 2 clients.  The
clients are all running 4.7-Stable as well.  Under 4.6.2, I was able to
install ports with no problems on the clients.  Now, patches don't seem
to always work, files aren't always getting created, and 'Server
Ret-Failed' from nfsstat -s increments quite rapidly.

I hope there isn't any problems following this.
