performance much improved
Subsystems (2)
Earlier in the 2.4.x series I noted a strange anomaly:
NetBSD nfsroot clients were able to drive up the load on a 2.4.x NFS server to 10 or 20. This was doubly surprising as the clients were machines of far lesser power than the NFS server (e.g. sun3/60 vs. a 600MHz Athlon running Linux ~2.4.8).
A pleasant surprise occurred today while doing make build simultaneously on all 3 of my NetBSD toasters (sun3/60, ss1, and decstation 5000/200):
The load average on my main machine (the NFS server, 2.4.18-pre7-ac3) remained quite low, and the machine quite responsive.
I confess I haven't been following the developments closely, but I can say thank you, and congratulations on the performance improvement.
Cheers,
Bill

NFS Utils package
Hi -
I've exported an NFS Utils package based on the latest checkins on the CVS tree, which H.J. tagged as nfs-utils-1-0-1-pre3. I have tested it with 2.2, 2.4, and Solaris 7 servers, running with a 2.4.18 client, running all 4 Connectathon 2002 tests simultaneously, along with bonnie++ and a duplicate request cache test I developed last year. I set them up to run 20 times each, so there is a constant mix of various tests doing different things for a few hours in each test sequence.
You can download the package from sourceforge:
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-utils-1-0-1-pre3.tar.gz
The notes for all the modifications are in the ChangeLog file in the package. The one that is of most importance to me is the modification of the default behavior for nfs exports; The default is now "sync", and you will get a warning if you don't specify either "sync" or "async".
I will be out of town for a week or so, and won't be able to read the mailing list much at all, but I'll be reviewing status later on next week, so go ahead and post comments to the mailing list, and send any private mail directly to me at this address.
Regards -
Tom McNeal

Are your tests able for download somewhere ?
Do you know another nfs tests ?

Thank you, Tom.
And what about nfs-utils 1.0 ? It was mentioned here a couple of month ago, but can't find it on sourceforge nfs page.
