Issues

slow dir listing

Setup 3 identical VMs with Debian 11. On one of machine entering into NFGS directory is insanely slow.

  • On “fast” machine
    • wireshark shows few READDIR aggregated request to get all content and attributes
    • /boot/config-5.10.0-33-amd64
    • 5.10.226-1
    • cat /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug 0x0000
  • On “slow” machine
    • wireshark shows few READDIR requests and then lots of single GETATTR requests for each file
    • dmesg contains lots of NFD debug info - main cause of slow speed
    • /boot/config-5.10.0-18-amd64
    • 5.10.140-1
    • cat /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug 0xFFFF
