node) which is why we are trying to squeeze out as much as possible from the hardware. So NFS is the only protocol in play right now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Could it be that switching from NFS to Lustre is a better way than doing it through drivers and kernel?

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve embarked on a project to push the limits of NFS for an analytics cluster (RHEL 6) and seeing how many of the more advanced features in the Intel cards (82599 in this case) can’t be tuned with the 4.0.1-k version, looking to see about
a module for the 5.x version ( 5.0.4 is the latest I believe). The vendors involved with this effort have all suggested tweaking the cards for this application due to the high bandwidth needed over few streams. What do you think?<o:p></o:p></p>
