CIFS and HTTP performance
by Aamer Latif 13 May '97

13 May '97

I have a couple of questions regarding CIFS and HTTP performance on NAC filers. Appreciate any answers regarding these. In reviewing the CIFs performance white paper on the NAC website (http://www.netapp.com/technology/level3/3015.html), I'm unclear on what type of NetBench test is being run. Specifically, I'm not sure if the paper describes NetBench Disk Mix or Random Read/Write tests. I'd thought that the graphs pertained to the Disk Mix test but block size variation test (section 3.1 in above paper) made me think that perhaps Random Read/Write test was being described (Disk Mix does not allow the I/O block size to be varied? If the Read/Write test is being used, I would be very interested in knowing the file sizes that are being used in these tests. Second, I'm wondering if there is any info or experiences regarding how many http op/s can a Netapp Web filer support? Thanks! Aamer a.latif(a)ieee.org

problems with F220 and INN on BSD/OS 3.0 (NFS v3 over TCP)
by Chris Caputo 06 May '97

06 May '97

Hi. I am new to the list. Is anyone else having problems with INN's fastrm not actually deleting all files it intended to delete when used on BSD/OS 3.0 with an F220? /bin/rm seems to work fine and in looking at the code the major difference seems to be that /bin/rm stat()'s each file before unlink()ing whereas fastrm just unlink()s. I am working up a version of fastrm that always stat()s first to see if that makes a difference. Any similar experiences? Chris

write lock

one of my F330s in back in write hell: during large chunks of the working day, the "disk write" statistic is non-zero (extremely non-zero) most of the time. given that i'm maxed out on NVRAM (8Mb), is there anything i can do to tune things?

NFS v3 tcp brokenness....
by alexei＠cimedia.com 01 May '97

01 May '97

Tonight my filer stopped serving NFS over its FDDI interface. Twice. I called NAC support, got a call back, they had me take the interface down and back up. That fixed it temporarily. It was then reccomended that I disable the tcp extension (of course, it involves some work on the client side as well; joy). I did it and now it seems to be happier. My beef with NAC is that the tech guy said that there had been many problems like this, alot of open tickets in the support queue and that the next release of the OS would have the tcp option disabled (as the default; not removed). Why in the world has NAC not sent out an advisory about this? If it has been causing so many problems, the least they could have done is let us know that it could happen. Since this is a new filer (f540, 256MB read cache, 8MB nvram, 100GB, 2x100bT, 1 fddi), the problem only affected some setup stuff I was doing. The problem seems worse with fddi than with ethernet connections (my mounts that occured over ethernet were fine while the fddi ones were not). Anybody from the peanut gallery? Alexei

toaster testing.
by Michael Salmon 29 Apr '97

29 Apr '97

We are about to loan a toaster to see how well it performs in our environment (mixed Sun/Auspex/pc, NFS/SMB, ATM(Fore)/Ethernet). Does anyone have any tips about toaster weaknesses that we should try? We aren't trying to run down NAC, all systems have weaknesses, it's the one that you don't know about that are troublesome. /Michael -- /--------------------------------\ ___ | Michael Salmon | / \ | Ericsson Utveckling AB | / | | ÄS/UAB/Z/IPE | / _| | Box 1505 | / | | 125 25 Älvsjö | / / | Sweden | / / | | | | +--------------------------------+ | \ | Michael.Salmon(a)uab.ericsson.se | / *| | | / _/ | Tel: +46 8 727 30 74 | | | | FAX: +46 8 647 82 76 | | / # | GSM: +46 705 902 842 | | __// \--------------------------------/ |_/ "*Real* wizards don't whine about how they paid their dues." -- Quentin Johnson (quent(a)atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu)

Re: 9Gb discs for F330s
by Steve Gremban 22 Apr '97

22 Apr '97

Are there any issues we should know about mixing different sized disks on the same system? I know it will work but is it something I should avoid? regards, Steve Gremban gremban(a)ti.com ------------- Begin Forwarded Message ------------- >this is great, and many thanks, but as someone who has only two slots left >in the third shelf of each of his F330s, and will need to know what to buy >shortly, could you give some indication of the timescale for the official >announcement? > >thanks. > > Tom Yates - Unix Chap - The Mathworks, Inc. - +1 (508) 647 7561 ------------- End Forwarded Message -------------
