Dear all,
I'm sorry but I have to report something's going wrong with simple ftp
file
transfers. I have two Fujitsu Siemens Primergy B125 servers (PIII@866MHz,
512MB) with both 'em' cards in it which are connected directly together,
so
no switch can drop packets. When I transfer a large testfile (400MB) via ftp
I get unbelievable 18MB/s. Both servers are 0% idle (~60% intr 40% sys).
What the heck is this machine doing? There's nothing else on the machines
running, sure!
I can dump to the disks with ~55MB/s so the bottleneck is not the hardware.
Things go worse if I use fwe (TI chipest) or fwip instead of em. Then transfer
rates decrease to 15MB/s for the fwe and 13MB/s with the fwip.
One good thin is that using NFS instead of ftp gives comparable transfer rates
(~5% less) without tuning and regardless of udp or tcp.
world an kernel are built with -O2 -march=pentium3, kernel config and dmesg
are attached (CUV-LV ist the kernel config).
What can I do to get reasonable GbE performance (with this hw I expect at
least 40MB/s, it's what a friend achieves with an other graphical OS on
similar hw).
Thanks,
-Harry
