Re: [Xen-users] Xen Guests and DomU running on NFS v3

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthew,

Well, my experience with NFS in general that NFS is not NFS any where  
and every where you go.
When asked to do analysis of this kind of thing, I pull out tools like  
Iozone together with nfsstat and iptraf to see what's up so this is  
what I suggest.
My favorite NFS server is the BlueArc but if you have a NetApp, that  
is a not so close 2nd.
If you have a standard issue nix box running as an NFS server, I would  
take care to trim it down services wise and if you can afford it,  
implement a Raid 0+1 with lots of RAM.
Don't jump to bonding because usually, the bottle neck is in the 5th  
layer and up and would only attack the 4th layer towards the end.
If you can fill up your nic, then you are ding a great job.
