List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, I'm experiencing issues when copying large files over NFS. I want to copy ~700mb files (ok, movies) from a NFS client to a NFS server. I'm using a 100mbits lan. If I use konqueror for doing this, I can see the progress bar behaving strangely: from 0% to 60% (on 700mb), copying goes at a 30Mb/s speed, which is impossible with fast ethernet. at 60%, the speed decreases dramatically and generally, ends by saying "waiting" at ~65% (~450mb). 30sec after, a popup tells me "Can't write on /foo". Sometimes it works, but i get "waiting..." at 99% for a minute or so, though the file is entirely copied, then the copy window closes itself. If i use cp, i get "stale nfs file handle". NFS Server config: Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 kernel (nptl) /etc/exports: (rw,sync) RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 32323 -N 2" fs type is ext3 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok nfs-utils-1.0.6-r4 NFS client config: Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-ck1 (nptl) mount options: rw,hard,intr,tcp,nfsvers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 i've tried other rsize and wsize settings, but it didn't change anything. any help please?
