I forgot you mentioned CentOS. Their kernel and apps are always very old.
2.6.18 was release in Sept 2006 IIRC--4+ years ago. It was the "pirate themed"
release.
With 2.6.37 what do you get with 4 concurrent nfs copy ops? If the aggregate
nfs throughput doesn't increase, you need to tweak your nfs server (and possibly
client). With that hardware and a recent kernel you should be able to fill that
10 GbE pipe, or come really close.
