Hi all,
I've got an old (but trusty!) IIsi running as an NFS server for several
clients. It's been working great for a long time and has been extremely
stable. It's still running the old 1.4 GENERIC kernel.
I recently put YellowDogLinux on an old 7200 with a 100Mbit ethernet card.
When I NFS mount across the network, I'm finding extremely slow NFS
transfer rates (about 10-20KB/s) where I can pull generally at least
300-400KB off my other BSD machines. I know the machine is capable of much
higher bandwidths, since I've gotten well over a few megs a second off the
100Mbit card through FTP.
Is there some known issue with tunable NFS parameters not getting along
between NetBSD and Linux machines?
Thanks,
Leonard
