I have an brand new F720 running 5.3.6R2. We're exporting two qtrees via NFS and CIFS. When the system is almost completely quiet, I try to tar up about 2M of stuff and it takes FIVE minutes. I also see NFS timeout errors on all NFS clients (the one I'm doing the tar from is specifically solaris 8, but I see the timeouts on linux as well).
I've tried NFS v2 and v3, both TCP and UDP, and nothing seems to help. netstat doesn't seem to show packet collisions (the netowrk ispretty much dead), not a lot of errors (<10%). I'm seeing writes about every 10 seconds (which should mean good performance), and the CPU is mostly idle. Why the hell does a tar of 2M take so bloody long? I can understand if I was moving a gig or so, but 2M?!
I've included important info (this was after I had changed to v2 UDP). Is there something else I should look at?
