Hi All.

Most likely a simple problem - but I'm obviously unable to solve it Smile

When my processes NFS-write to the RAID, all processes are "blocked" (don't do anything) until the write operation is completed.
The reason for "don't do anything" seems to be, that all NFS-read is stopped while the NFS-write is going on.

"iostat -nkx 1" looks like this:

i.e. there is no read during write. I can set the length of the "write-only period" with the dirty_xxx parameters under /proc/sys/vm, but that does not really buy me anything.

Question: how can I convince the NFS-I/O to read and write at the same time? I am never writing to any file being read at the same time, so there is no risk in simultaneous read/write.

Thanks and Cheers
Bernd
