Improve NFS client performance
Authored by: andrewbrydon on Jun 09, '03 02:06:23PM

Started off with reasonable nfs write speeds (2Mb/s) but terrible read speeds (worse; dropping to Finally discovered that killing all my nfsiod processes returned my read speed to normal; with default block sizes (32kb in both directions, nfs version 3) I now get around 4Mb/s in both directions. Not clear whether this is something specific to my setup, or particular server.

The server is a linux box running nfs-kernel-server. The only other box on the network is a linux laptop and sees good performance in both directions.

Hope this helps someone.
