[Linux-cluster] gfs export over nfs is very slow

[Raj Kumar]

Hi,

We are using GFS6.0 (no cluster suite) and NFS exports of the file system. I am getting a transfer rate of about 35MB/sec. We have a high speed SAN. Actually the transfer rate can be little higher but we attribute the slow rate to NFS itself since we see the same numbers for EXT3 also. 

Regards,
Raj
