  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Version 3 NFS exported Veritas filesystem has slow
    performance with
    dsync option. This is caused by an additional open and
    close done before
    a read or write operation.  This additional open and
    close is done for
    performance optimization by other types of
    filesystems(gpfs) and is not
    needed by Veritas.  J2 already is coded not to do it.
    Customer asked for
    a test nfs extension which allowed Veritas to avoid
    unnecessary path and
    it was successfully tested to improve performance without
    side affects.
    

Local fix

  • No local fix.
    

Problem summary

  • Copying a file raises CPU usage to 100% on the server.
    The client hangs and then times out.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Avoid doing additional open/close before a read or write call
    

Temporary fix
