Note that SPEC SFS does not support RDMA.

IIRC, the benchmark comes with source code - wondering anyone has modified it to run on RDMA ? Or is there any real user to share the experience ?

What do you suggest for benchmarking NFS?
I believe SPECsfs has been widely used by NFS (server) vendors to position their product lines. Its workload was based on a real life NFS deployment. I think it is more torward office type of workload (large client/user count with smaller file sizes e.g. software development with build, compile, etc).
BTW, we're experimenting a similar project and would be interested to know your findings.

I am not familiar with SpecSFS, but if it exercises the filesystem, it does not know which RPC layer that NFS uses, no? Or does it implement its own client and directly access the RPC layer?

Yes, the SPEC SFS benchmark implements its own NFSv3 client, RPC layer, etc.
