[HPADM] low nfs performance

Hallo,

We have a very bad nfs-performance. Ftp works normal (~10Mbit/sec).

The network consists of HP-UX10.20 workstations (most of them C3000 and
C3600 machines). NFS version 2 is used. Mount options are as follows:
Flags: vers=2,hard,int, read size=8192, write size=8192, count = 4

Example:
file MYTESTFILE is about 400MB large

using nfs:
=========
user@workstation List/Verz > time cp MYTESTFILE /Data/host1
0.03u 4.77s 22:38.65 0.3%
--> copying via nfs - the file transmission "MYTESTFILE" to host1 takes
about 22 minutes.

using ftp:
=========
user@workstation List/Verz > ftp host1
ftp> put MYTESTFILE
226 Transfer complete.
435077169 bytes sent in 40.76 seconds (10424.52 Kbytes/s)

--> same file, 40 seconds for transmission.

Do you have any ideas?
What mount options do you use?

Thank you very much!

Andreas Fischer
