2.6.5 NFS ready for production?

2.6.5 NFS ready for production?

[Erik Walthinsen]

I'm trying to decide whether or not to even contemplate putting 2.6.5 on
our NAS server (single 2.4GHz Xeon, 512MB, 4x 200GB SATA on 3ware) to
gain the various I/O scheduling improvements, but obviously whether it's
even remotely possible depends primarily on whether NFS is up to it.

I have stock 2.6.5 on a test machine, and am getting *well* under
1MB/sec with bonnie++ over NFS on Gigabit (ttcp gets 18MB/sec, no jumbo
frames), compared to 20+MB/sec local (single old ATA disk).  Haven't
tried to pin down what precisely is causing the issue, but it begs the
question: should I even be considering 2.6's NFS as production-capable
yet?

TIA,

[Lever, Charles]

have you looked into why ttcp gets only 18MB/sec?
