OT (Re: Playing around with NFS+XFS)

[Tru Huynh <tru@pasteur.fr>]

YMMV ;)

Here is our current setup

nfs server:
with RPCNFSDCOUNT=16  /etc/init.d/nfs instead of the default 8

dual p3-866 2x256PC133
3com 3c905CX-TXM card
3ware 6800 in JBOD/8x IBM 
sofware raid 5 (7 disk + host spare)
xfs with external log on a software raid 1 array (hda/hdc)
kernel 2.4.10-pre2-xfs-30082001 (egcs-1.1.2 release) redhat 7.1 based

/dev/md0 on /raid5 type xfs
(rw,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8,logdev=/dev/md1) 
/dev/hda7 on /scratch type xfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8)  


client:
Athlon 10x100MHz 2x256 PC133
3com 3c905CX-TXM card
plain SGI-1.0.1 xfs install

[tru@xiii bonnie++-1.00g]$ mount
<...>
sheridan.bis.pasteur.fr:/raid5/home/Bis on /home/Bis type nfs
(rw,nfsvers=3,addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
