List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi All I am new to the list, but have been reading the Archives. I need to Backup about 50 GB of Data. The Data is on a NFS Mounted Partition. A local Backup is not possible. The Data is mainly small files (HTML Pages, Pictures etc.) But there are also some bigger files. The Network thruput vary's from about 1-2 MB/s to 9 -10 MB/s. It is a 100 Mbit Network (Switched), the NFS Server is connected with a 1 Gbit Link. I am Running a 2.4.17 Kernel with Trond's 2.4.17 NFS-all Patch. I have tried the following mount options : -o vers=3,async,hard,intr,nolock Varied with differnt wsize and rsize (from 4096 to 32768, and also not specified) , also tried with the option tcp. The Max thruput changes a bit depending on the options but the avg. does not change a great deal. (about 80 - 120 MB/min) The NFS Server is a Auspex NS2000. Anyone got an Idea how to get Linux to read the small files faster, or howto just generaly make things faster (Read) ? Any Ideas would be most welcome. PS Sorry for the bad spelling, my english is rather rusty... -- Freundliche Gr?sse (Kind Regards) NetZone Ltd.
