Hi,
Can't reach more than 140 MB/s over NFS or CIFS.
I've tried everything: recompiled the latest driver from Intel (ixgbe-3.23.2.1), tweaked "/etc/sysctl.conf", set a bigger tmpfs on a ram drive. But nothing seems to work.
My NFS server is on Debian wheezy 3.2.65-1+deb7u2 x86_64, with 2 X540-T2, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v3 Hexacore, SSD HDD 240 GB (O.S.) and Logic MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 with 4 disk on RAID10.
My 2 NFS clients are Centos 6.6 and Centos 7.1 with X540-T2.
What surprises me the most is that I have another scenario with the same version of Debian that works like 400MB/s with less powerful hardware: Server NFS Intel Corei3 and Client NFS Centos 6.6, both with Intel X520 (ixgb driver) interface.
Please helpppp!!!!
