Unless someone fixes the problem pretty soon our strategy is going to move away from filers everywhere to just a couple of filers at the centre of the network. Anyone else think it would be worth netapp sponsoring someone to fix up the linux nfs client to perform well under load? I'm guessing that the cost-benefit to netapp would be pretty convinving.
Did you pick up NFSv3 client support and the latest NFS performance/stability patches from nfs.sourceforge.net ?
Client performance (and stability) improved considerably after I picked up these patches (I use NFSv3/UDP with 32KB xfer sizes).
