[Pvfs2-users] Pvfs performance over 10Ge

[Salmon, Rene]

Hi,

Trying to benchmark pvfs running over 10ge.  I can run network
benchmarks like netperf and iperf and get numbers fairly close to
10Gbits/sec  from any client to any of the pvfs servers.

When I try to run some dd's or pvfs2-cp's on the pvfs file system I seem
to be reaching a 1Gbit/sec limit:

hpca4000(salmr0)60:pvfs2-cp -t -b 4194304 /pvfs2-fs/foo /pvfs2-fs/junk3
Wrote 4194304000 bytes in 49.089332 seconds. 81.484099 MB/seconds

hpca4000(salmr0)61:/usr/bin/time -p dd if=/dev/zero of=/pvfs2-fs/foo2
bs=4M count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
4194304000 bytes (4.2 GB) copied, 50.4064 seconds, 83.2 MB/s

Is there some hard coded limit with pvfs2 that assumes a 1Gbit/sec link
or am I missing something here?

Thanks
Rene
