[uml-user] NFS performance

[Michael P. <mi...@wd...>]

Hi,

I'm doing some benchmarking of UML performance. As part of this, I have
been testing various methods of filesystem access (by doing a kernel
compile on differently-mounted filesystems).

So far, I've tried hostfs and 'vanilla' filesystem-in-a-file. The vanilla
one outperforms the hostfs significantly. Now I'd like to try an NFS
mounted filesystem (exported from the hostfs) but there's no NFS filesystem
support in the UML kernel.

Before I go recompiling, does anyone already know what I will get??

Thanks in advance!

Jeff, sorry I haven't been able to update you with my server consolidation
work so far, I've had hardware problems (a fried Athlon, by the looks of
it) so progress has not been rapid...
