aRTee Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi guys, I hope someone knows how to go about debugging my setup, I'm all out of ideas... Here's the situation: cablemodem -- server -- switch -- home net with several machines (FYI, the server is connected to the cablemodem with 2 nics via a switch and has 2 ip addresses, but that's not really relevant) I mount some partitions of the server onto my workstation, and until now I never had any issues, depending on the harddrive I'd get between 5 and 11MB/s over the network when copying files. Watching a movie or playing music on my workstation with the data residing on the server was never a problem. Until now - if I try to open a movie or copy a file, I get to see the following transfer speeds (as per gkrellm): something around 5 or 600KB/s for one sec, then nothing, then for one sec around 100KB/s, then ... nothing. Even if I wait for a long time. Note: I can get over 10MB/s if I connect via ftp. Connecting with ssh or vnc is also no problem at all. My network and nics are therefore fine. I have tried to debug this, at some point after restarting some services (nfslock, nfs, shorewall, portmap, network) in some order on the server, and restarting netfs on my client/ws I did manage to get things to work fine - for copying one 600MB file over. A few moments later the system went back to it's slow/broken behaviour... I have not been able to get it to do the fast (well, normal) transfer via nfs anymore, even whilst trying restarting services in all the same ways, by now I have tried all orders twice or more. Oh, I have also rebooted and such... no improvements either... I have added alias net-pf-10 off to my modprobe.conf which shuts off ip-v6 but to no avail - still the same. What can I say, other than: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Ok, I've mounted the nfs share on my laptop, and there it seems to work fine. So the issue is on the client machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Guys, are none of you having any issues? No ideas either? Just not using nfs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
