Forgot to mention, but if ethereal network traces are useful I can easily provide those. Yes, RedHat 2.4.18-5 kernel has awful read performance as a client (as opposed to stock 2.4.17, 2.4.19rc1). Here are some bonnie++ benchmarks to a linux server (served kernel has no effect on results). Over nfs: Version 1.02a ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random- -Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block-- --Seeks-- Machine Size K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP /sec %CP xpc1.ast.cam.ac. 1G 9242 52 9452 7 644 0 1624 8 1731 1 488.7 3 ------Sequential Create------ --------Random Create-------- -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- files /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP 16 1207 3 182 96 2157 7 1224 3 4521 5 1766 4 xpc1.ast.cam.ac.uk,1G,9242,52,9452,7,644,0,1624,8,1731,1,488.7,3,16,1207,3,182,96,2157,7,1224,3,4521,5,1766,4 Locally: Version 1.02a ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input----Random- -Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block-- --Seeks-- Machine Size K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP /sec %CP xserv1.ast.cam.a 2G 22311 96 40600 13 16150 4 24853 96 45830 5 323.0 0 ------Sequential Create------ --------Random Create-------- -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- files /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP 16 2715 98 +++++ +++ +++++ +++ 2784 98 +++++ +++ 8798 99 xserv1.ast.cam.ac.uk,2G,22311,96,40600,13,16150,4,24853,96,45830,5,323.0,0,16,2715,98,+++++,+++,+++++,+++,2784,98,+++++,+++,8798,99 Look at the nfs read speeds and rewrite speeds. Using a 2.4.17 or 2.4.19rc1 stock kernel on the client gives ~10MB/s read and write speeds (rather than 10MB/s write and 0.5MB/s read). Just to add that the machines in the above benchmark are connected over 100Mps ethernet with Intel eepro100 cards. Mounting options are: rw,nfsvers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
