Real

NFS v3

  • V3 rm rf noplus real.jpg
    • Without readdir plus, an unmodified 2.6.38 kernel takes longer to remove a large directory than the other kernels
  • V3 rm rf plus real.jpg
    • Using readdir plus removes large directories faster than using a simple readdir.

NFS v4

  • V4 rm rf noplus real.jpg
    • Kernels perform the same without readdir plus
  • V4 rm rf plus real.jpg
    • With readdir plus enabled, the kernels take about the same amount of time to remove the directory.

Sys

NFS v3

  • V3 rm rf noplus sys.jpg
    • The command takes about the same amount of kernel time for each tested kernel.
  • V3 rm rf plus sys.jpg
  • Using readdir plus decreases the kernel time needed to complete the command

NFS v4

  • V4 rm rf noplus sys.jpg
    • Tested kernels use about the same amount of kernel time to complete the command.
  • V4 rm rf plus sys.jpg
    • 2.6.36 kernels use less kernel time than 2.6.38 kernels.

RPC ops

NFS v3

  • V3 rm rf noplus rpc.jpg
  • V3 rm rf plus rpc.jpg

NFS v4

  • V4 rm rf noplus rpc.jpg
  • V4 rm rf plus rpc.jpg
