nfs performance at high loads
Hello,
Thanks for the inputs.. But, if we cannot move back to 2.2.19
and need to stick with 2.4.0 for our own reasons concerning the work underway, would it be possible to give us a pointer us to the list of issues related to this problem in the vm, so that we may attempt to try and get some fixes or workarounds done - well, they may or may not be accepted into mainstream linux for various reasons, but we may need to get them fixed to ship our stuff and may plan to do so..
Any pointers, suggestions, opinions, etc. are most welcome..
Thanks

Use 2.2.19. The 2.4 VM is currently too broken to survive high
