What in your opinion is a lot of retransmissions? Today I am seeing around 0.7%. Client rpc stats: calls retrans authrefrsh 23695 166 0 I am using the standard kernel provided by redhat for this machine. > > > Am I right in saying this should mean the problem does not exist? > The Problem exists - definitely. > But it's possible to configure that it does not hurt too much, by lowering > rsize=4096,wsize=4096 I got a compromise between speed and "NFS server ...". > > I think the only solution is to send bugreports to NVIDIA. > (Shit closed source, in OSS we had already fixed this junk). > > > I will go and have a look at those archives (only been on the list for a > > week). Neither the open-source nor closed source drivers appear to be loaded, are these drivers only loaded when going to runlevel 5 (or starting x manually?)? I have also started to mount the NFS volumes using TCP, I am no longer getting the NFS server not responding error messages.
