Subject: AIX write performance
Toasters,
I am having difficulty with large file writes to an
f720 from any of my IBM hosts, if I start a large write with dd then try to do
anything on the filer from that host it hangs until the write completes. From
a different host access to the filer is near normal. I do not have this
problem with linux boxes on the same network so it seems that the problem lies
with AIX somehow. IBM has been sympathetic although not very
helpful.
Any thoughts would be
much appreciated.
