Strange copy/syncing behavior
Subsystems (2)
System setup: two Slackware 9.1/current machines, both almost identically configured.
Both act as NFS servers.
As client from one machine everything is perfectly alright, but:
That machine acting as a server is strange, when I try and copy stuff to it, let's say a 200MB file.
midnight commander will then report a transfer speed of around 30MB (which on a 100MBit net is impossible), when the progress bar is completed, it will stall for about 20 seconds, which together with the actually reported copy process is the time it takes to copy the file at around 7.5MB/s, which is a sane value.
exports line shoes as follows:/mnt/a5 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
file system there is XFS.
When mounting with "sync" parameter, tho it should be synced anyway, transfer speed drops to 200k/s.
Like I said, when that machine as client and the other as server it's smooth sailing, mc nicely reports 7.some MB/s (which btw kicks Samba square in the balls), progress bar advances as the transfer does, not all at once.
Any pointers?
