From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: When booting the NFS client machine with dual processors, file transfers are extremely slow with larger files. The speed is improved considerably by booting the machine using only one processor. The motherboard is a SuperMicro 370DLE with dual Pentiums. Both the onboard network interface and an OvisLink interface card were tested with the same results discounting a problem with the network interfaces. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up NFS client on a dual processor machine 2. Mount a remote directory with large files 3. Do a file copy operation from the remote directory Actual Results: Extremely slow transfer rates. The Midnight Commander window indicates file transfer rates of 9-10 KB per second. Expected Results: Nearly instantaneous file copy Additional info: Appears to work OK when booting the dual processor machine with the single processor kernel
I am sorry to report there's no chance I'd find time to look at this properly, esp. for RHL 7.1, so closing. If Fedora does the same file a new one, please.
