Anyone using NFS these days ?
Yes, but only as a client at the moment.
Server is a Fedora27 as well. vers=4.2 the default. Same issue at other sites with
Fedora27.
Server export: "/data *.kingnet(rw,async,fsid=17)"
Client fstab: "king.kingnet:/data /data nfs async,nocto 0 0"
Client mount: "king.kingnet:/data on /data type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,nocto,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.202.2,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.202.1)"
If I have time (my) tomorrow I'll have a look at testing it. But, could you define
what you mean by "big source tar" and "single large file"?
In particular the "tar" procedure. I'm not sure if you have an nfs mounted
file
system and you are creating a tar from data on that file system, which would need to
be read and then compressed locally and written back to the nfs mounted file system.
So, I just want to get the data flow to match.
And what is the size of the single large file and are you doing a copy from a local
file system to the nfs partition?
