I haven't read this list for a few weeks and I lost track
of the thread, but there was something going on about
the speeds with which later kernels will talk to their
peers on a network.
I'm about to set up a series of nfs servers. I experimented
with 1.3.90, 1.3.99, and 2.0 and the results were ghastly
-- they were all *slow*! I went back to 1.2.8 and I'm
quite happy with its performance as a server.
I read a message this morning (on linux-kernel, I believe)
which proclaimed 1.2.x to be yesterday's news and the
stable kernel to go with is now 2.0.3. Before I madly
start tossing new stuff into the box, can anyone report
on the response rates of the newer kernels and if this
slowdown got fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
