[gentoo-user] NFS Server Tuning

[Stefan Onken <Support@stonki.de>]

Hello,

I am running a x86 gentoo box as a nfs server. As a filesystem I am 
using XFS on a 3ware Raid system. 

The 3ware systems seems to be quite quick, although access via NFS 
seems to be very slow. Any ideas how I can improve speed ? I was 
expected a speed only limited by the 100 Mbit network. Now, the 
speed is so slow, that reading/writing at the same time is nearly 
impossible.

Any ideas how to improve the speed ?

hdparm on the gentoo box machine:
backup3 ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads:   4108 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2054.34 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:  232 MB in  3.01 seconds =  77.09 MB/sec

/etc/exports on the gentoo box:
/mnt/backup/ 192.168.1.0/24
(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

I am not even able to run a bonnie benchmark on the client. It seems 
to hang while doing rewriting. Running bonnie on the nfs server 
gives a fast result.

/etc/fstab on the client: 
192.168.1.3:/mnt/backup         /mnt/backup     nfs     
rw,users,async   0

Any ideas ?
