We've run up against a very odd problem where a 100Tx client, with an NFS automount / soft mount, to 1000Tx server gets extemely slow transfer times on test files that normally take less than ten seconds.
Client & server both at 100Tx or 1000Tx - no prob
Client & server both on 450-24T switches - no prob
All other transfers OK such as FTP
Test scenario was with a single 5520-24T and we've tried a number of things:
- BOSS 4.1, 4.2 & 4.2.1
- QueueSet & BufferingCaps settings - QueueSet2 & med BufferingCaps works best / no diff
- AUTO or hard coded 1000Tx - no diff
