Gave up on NFS when nothing had changed in -test4 and -test5 (the first regression). This weekend I spent compiling to find the 'readahead' values. Am on a PII 400, so takes time to nail specifics. Can't do another marathon compile until next weekend. > those numbers on TCP or are they UDP only? Am rather clueless when it comes to networking. You have to deduce from the following. Remote is a Pentium 120 with Slackware 7.1.0 (Universal NFS Server 2.2beta47) kernel 2.2.16. Does it even speak TCP? I compiled this -test9 with TCP only when I saw the 29 minutes - and no change afterwards. Looks like I'm using UDP, or? > What NIC are you using?

On this -test9 it is an integrated NIC which needs the de4x5 (Compaq Presario 5640). When trying out Slackware 9.something it was autodetected as a tulip but didn't work with that driver. The P120 uses an ISA card driven by a cs89x0 module. > Are you using ACPI to set up the hardware? If so, does turning it off > make a difference. Kernels are compiled without everything in that area.
