NFS: Linux Server, FreeBSD clients

Mon Nov 5 03:31:22 PST 2007

Hello!

I'm doing some tests on a Linux 2.6 kernel nfsd with freebsd clients.

I want to use a cluster of 2 servers with heartbeat as failover and use
the linux server as nfsd.

Currently I am testing with iozone, which gives pretty bad performance
results for standard connection (about 1/10 of what the disks deliver
under linux locally, although connected via copper gbit/s).

Has someone some test / performance tuning hints for this situation?

Sincerly

Nico

P.S.: Linux as server because running on dell 1955 makes the blade
      unmonitorable under fbsd.
P.P.S.: The main usage will be mailserver, so many small files.
