Re: [Xen-devel] domU NFS performance

I'm wondering if other people have experience similar stalling issues
with NFS services in a domU. Is it a known issue?
Nicholas: I'm with Keir, this shouldn't be happening. I'm with
XenSource QA, this looks like an interesting situation.
Could you provide us with some additional information (some you've
already given).
There's a script I've written to gather system information called, oddly
enough, system-info. Find a copy at
http://linuxmafia.com/~karsten/Download/system-info (I'll see about
getting this to the Cambridge site, we're looking at using this here).
Try running that on both the DomU and physical system as this will give
us an idea of your system state as well.
You might also want to:
- Provide specific NFS version info.
- Check system logs on client and server for any possible related info.
- Monitor traffic (tcpdump, ethereal, iptraf) to determine if latency
is visible at network / protocol level.
- Provide specific network hardware specs. We *are* seeing issues
with specific cards, and have seen some quirks with hub/switch
configurations.
My own experience with mutt is that it can be notoriously laggy
particularly dealing with large or frequently updated mailboxes. It may
not be the best general purpose network performance test tool. Perhaps
netperf (packaged for Debian) would be more useful.
As Kier indicates, we're largely dogfooding internally with services run
via Xen DomUs, so this is a bit of a puzzler.
Cheers.
