Real
NFS v3
-
- 2.6.36 based kernels seem to be slightly slower than 2.6.38 based kernels.
-
- 2.6.38 performs the same as 2.6.36 with the readdir plus cap removed. Using readdir rather than readdir plus is faster in this case.
NFS v4
-
- 2.6.36 based kernels take more time to finish the command than 2.6.38 based kernels.
-
- 2.6.38 based kernels can complete this command much faster than 2.6.36 based kernels.
Sys
NFS v3
-
-
- Using readdir plus for this command takes longer than using a simple readdir.
NFS v4
-
-
- Unmodified 2.6.38 gives the worst performance here. All other kernels seem to give roughly the same results.
RPC ops
NFS v3
-
- 2.6.36 kernels issue fewer RPC operations than 2.6.38 kernels
-
- Kernels with readdir plus limiting seem to have fewer RPC operations than kernels without the limit.
NFS v4
-
- 2.6.36 based kernels issue fewer RPC calls than 2.6.38 kernels.
-
- 2.6.36 based kernels give the fewest number of RPC calls. 2.6.38 with readdir plus limiting issues a few hundred more RPC operations, but not nearly as much as an unmodified 2.6.38 kernel.
