That cannot be right?
You should really include a couple of important options when you mount the NFS filesystem on the client. -- /etc/fstab -- foo:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,yourotheroptions 0 0 ---- Network transmissions are a funny thing. I wrote a program once that would be use a changing buffer size, from 1 byte, doubling each time it was called, to 1MB, the transfer speed made the most unusual shape, something like | --------------------------- | - | - - | - - | - | - |- +---------------------------------------------- 1B 4k 8k 1MB (This is very rusty, but you get the idea that the optimal buffer size is 4k or 8k). Stangely enough, I haven't been able to replicate the strange dip... Cameron Kerr -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~cameronk/
