Subject: RE: nfs unlink perf !

I check nfsstat, and see a bunch of retrans...
but now when then following your suggestion I 've try to put :
tcp + rsize/wsize=3D32768 and :
* take the same time
* hang on D state under moderate load so I need to reboot very =
frequently.

my previous setup was :
* nfs v3, rsize/wsize=3D8192, udp

my client (DL360) and server (F880) are connected through a dedicated
switch each with 100FD network link to the switch.

any ideas ?
