The setup:
Machine A:
A pentium 166 running linux 2.0.21; IBM DORS disk on an NCR adaptor,
and a PCI NE-2000 clone
Machine B:
An ALPHA PC164 running linux 2.1.4 at 433MHz, Seagate Baracuda disk
on Adaptec 2940 and ISA(!) NE-2000 clone, 128M of RAM
Machine B mounts a directory from machine A; For a test I timed copying
139M of MPEG layer II audio streams to machine B's local harddisk, after
previously wiping the cache with "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null", which
read 1G from the disk (in 3:20 minutes, with 11% CPU load ;-).
The test took 2:09 minutes (at 9% CPU load, almost completely system
time), which means on average 1085k/s were transferred; This result
was achieved with mounting with rsize=8192,wsize=8192
However, I got the message
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
for each single file. What does this mean?
Also, the reason the ALPHA has an ISA card is that it won't work with
a PCI NE-2000 clone. It would find it all right, but as soon as I did
an "ifconfig 192.32.242.21" on it, it would hang the machine hard. This
was with a variety of 2.0.x kernels; I haven't tried the PCI card on 2.1.4
yet --- does anyone know what's going on here?
Thanks,
Bernie
