OK, my cluster of 16 boxes mounts from an alpha. I use amd. I just now got around to looking at why it always takes 5-7 seconds to log in to the cluster machines. In a nutshell, it's a problem at the freebsd side. When i log in, i see a call to the nfs nullproc from freebsd to the alpha. alpha replies. Then there's delay. Then i see the call repeated (!). Then i see normal amd activity (mount the remote file system, basically). seems to me that at the freebsd end, at some point, the first reply is lost. Anyone else seeing this or something like it? it's weird. Maybe the alpha is just too fast for my poor pentiums ... :-) on a side note, it was funny to see how much faster freebsd could build NTP than a sparc-20 running solaris 2.5. ron Ron Minnich |" Microsoft Word: It does so little and it does rminnich@sarnoff.com | it so slowly" -- Maya Gokhale (609)-734-3120 | ftp://ftp.sarnoff.com/pub/mnfs/www/docs/cluster.html
