Hello.
Just a question, I have measured 17 MB/sec file transfer speed over Gigabit Ethernet without jumbo frames exported from DomU to a DomU in a different Computer.

Before I started evaluating XEN I measured File filetransfer speed of 37 MB/sec, this time with FTP. In both cases I copied a single 2 GB File.

Before I start evaluating different filesystems like iSCSI od GDFS, I want to know if the bottleneck is here NFS or XEN in general? I mean I know that FTP and NFS is not really comparable but.. will I get a lot more speed with onother filesystem?

Greetings,
Robert Welz
