Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
on one of our students' lab the home directories of the students are |
| 4 |
mounted via NFS. |
| 5 |
Our main application (www.codelite.org) seems to write a lot of small |
| 6 |
chunks to files in the |
| 7 |
students' home directories. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Thus, just finishing Codelite takes 100 seconds while the same version |
| 10 |
on a pure local machine |
| 11 |
takes about 2 seconds for that. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
A simple test |
| 14 |
dd bs=80 count=10000 if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/Test |
| 15 |
shows only 80 Kb/sec (speed of a floppy drive). |
| 16 |
The machine was idle and connected to a dedicated, nearly idle server |
| 17 |
by a network |
| 18 |
of 1Gb/sec. |
| 19 |

Does anybody have some hints on how to speed up such an NFS3 setup? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Many thanks for some clues. |

By the way, NFS was set up with the async option. |
