I shared out an NFSv4 mountpoint with a UFS ramdisk as the backing store, and I got the same slow results. I was fooled by the fact that the numbers were similar to what I got using OpenSolaris with the ZIL enabled. (This is what I get for making assumptions.) Interestingly enough, if I use NFSv3 instead of NFSv4, performance increases dramatically. It appears it's FreeBSD's NFSv4 server, or the way it's interacting with Linux's client, that's the culprit here. I'm not sure if there are knobs I should be tweaking to make it perform better; any suggestions on what to try next? -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington
