Subject: Re: [2.6.30.1] Significant latency playing video file from NFS4 share

Any suggestions based on the data below?

Is the problem maybe that the amount of data transferred each time is so
big that the network speed becomes a bottleneck and causes the latency?
I can reproduce the issue with both a 10MBit wired link and with a 54MBit
wireless link.

Is this a kernel bug or a configuration issue?

Thanks,
FJP

$ ../nfs-iostat.py --page 20 10 /srv/fjp/david

Note:
The mount point selection could be improved. I first had a trailing slash
after the mount point and that resulted in all mounts being included in the
output. Removing the slash helped.
