We changed to a RH Linux 9 file server (3 GHz Intel PC). MS Windows machines use Samba and have no problem with this file server. RH Linux computers use NFS with good speed. But for Solaris (8 or 9 on Sun Ultra 10/360) NFS still works, but is about 18 times slower than expected. Such Linux/Solaris issues were discussed on the Internet years ago. Is there a patch for the RH Linux NFS server or the Solaris NFS client I missed? What else could I try?

ThanX,
Reinhard

What did you switch FROM? I've perceived performance issues switching from RH7x to RH9. Two differences here being kernel version and moving from nfs-utils 0.3.x(?) to nfs-utils(1.0.1).
