We are setting up a cluster of Pentium Pro 166 machines running linux to provide extra processing power to our group. We would like to serve our user files from our existing file server which is an HP 720 runing HP-UX 9.03. There is no problem in actually making it work, but the rate of transfer to the remote NFS mounted disk is painfully slow. We have a simple fortran program which simply write 1000 numbers each from a single write statement.
All boxes are in the same segment of the network.
I have tried changing the rsize and wsize from 1024 to 8192 in the mount command to no affect.
