Chuck's test results

Write throughput results

This document tells the story of an exploration of write throughput using the Linux NFS client with a Linux NFS server and a Network Appliance filer. I used the Bonnie file system benchmark in various forms to measure sequential write performance. This test measures how quickly an application can write 8192 byte chunks into a fresh file.

Close-to-open cache consistency

This document reports on work to improve the Linux NFS client's close-to-open cache consistency behavior. The Linux kernel's directory entry cache is designed differently than other VFS layers' vnode cache, requiring special treatment in the Linux NFS client.
