            Bug ID: 276299
           Summary: Write performance to NFS share is ~4x slower than on
                    13.2
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dmilith@me.com

I've upgraded my aarch64 box (RockPro64 with 4G RAM) which serves a ZFS pool
over NFS.

Before the upgrade (on FreeBSD 13.2) my upload speed to the share was like
50-70MiB/s. After the upgrade to FreeBSD 14.0, it struggles to get even 10MiB/s
write.

I've tried switching from NFSd v3 to v4. It's even worse (6MiB/s write).

The disk is WD Gold, 10TiB. So I'm quite sure it's not about the disk speed or
the network speed (my router has 1G ports).

My /etc/rc.conf:

# NFS
hostid_enable="YES"
nfscbd_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfsv4_server_only="NO"
nfsv4_server_enable="YES"
nfsuserd_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"


I've bumped /etc/sysctl.conf settings to huge values:

net.inet.raw.maxdgram=262144
net.inet.raw.recvspace=1048576
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=1048576
vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio=1048576
vfs.nfsd.maxthreads=128
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=1
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216

But this improved nothing. Maybe it's even worse…


My NFS client (macOS 13+) uses these options:

mount_nfs \
  -o \
 
rw,vers=4,deadtimeout=0,readahead=6,noatime,sync,async,hard,bg,intr,inet,tcp,nfc,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,dsize=1048576
\
  vks4.home:/Copies/VMs \
  /Users/Shared/NFS/VMs


My sequential read from NFS is as before (~50-70MiB/s). Which is "okay" for
that HW. But what can I do to bring the write speed back to 50MiB/s? Did I do
something wrong?

Thanks
