NFS speed problem when appending data to existing files
Quoted 5 lines
on the client side (2.4.22, server is a 2.4.21 kernel based nfsd). Only appending small amounts of data to an existing file shows the problem. Writing a large file happens at FastEthernet speed flawlessly. Any help, please?
Hello Torsten,
2.4.22 has a client-side nfs-bug causing this. I'm not sure if this is already fixed in 2.4.23-pre6, so I suggest you downgrade to 2.4.21.
Cheers,
Bernd

Thanks, that does avoid the error messages in the kernel log but it does not solve the problem. You can download a strace log from
http://twerner.debian.net/strace.out.bz2 . You will see a programm that repeatedly opens a file in append mode, writes some data and closes the file. Sometimes the close need overs half a second which is far to much. (Please just 'grep close strace.out' to see it clearly.)
It did work with some older kernel that I have already deinstalled. :-(
Regards,
Torsten
