Hi!
I am building a small cluster by using an NFS Server under Linux. I tried to tweak some parameters in order to get the best performance. This is what I got so far:
- NFS Server has 3 NICs bonded
- Vmware Server have 2 NICs bonded
- Read Performance is at around 110MB/s (100-115)
- Write Performance is at around 100MB/s (80-115)
- on the NFS Server the storage runs in an RAID6 array
The performance was tested with reading and writing 1GB files. When using a file with 5GB the performance at about 60MB/s read and 50MB/s write.
I also tried jumbo frames. But any other setting than MTU of 1500 made the performance to go down a bit (yes the MTU was set on both sides).
Any suggestions?
