Okay, I just bit the bullet and installed a Linux/Centos 6.4 system for = testing purposes. =20 All hardware is *identical*, except that the FreeBSD server has the = nicer Intel card in it =85 the Linux is just using the onboard Broadcom. = Everything else is the same =85 same CPUs, same amount of memory, same = switch, same netapp =85 the netapp only has one filer head, so its the = same head. I created two separate volumes, but both are on the same = aggregate and the same size. OSs: FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #2: Thu Apr 25 18:18:18 UTC 2013 - custom kernel, I try to compile everything I need in, what I = missed: vs Linux server03.openstudent.ca 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr = 23 19:29:00 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux - CentOS 6.4 + 'yum update' Everything is on the local drive *except* that I put /usr/local/jboss on = the NFS drive, and there is no virtualization happening anywhere =85 = everything is on the base server OS, and nothing else is running on = either of the machines. FreeBSD start time for jBoss .. 270731ms (768% *slower*) Linux start time for jBoss =85.=85. 35218 ms=20 Even hitting ctl-c after the test to stop the process is 2x faster: FreeBSD: 4207ms (169% slower) Linux: 2486ms Note that both systems have an equal lack of tuning =85 I wouldn't even = know *where* to start tuning Linux =85 Here is nfsstat -m for the two systems =85 both using nfsv3, same = rsize/wsize values, all default out of the box ... FreeBSD: 192.168.1.1:/vol/freebsd_jboss on /usr/local/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final = nfsv3,tcp,resvport,hard,cto,lockd,sec=3Dsys,acdirmin=3D3,acdirmax=3D60,acr= egmin=3D5,acregmax=3D60,nametimeo=3D60,negnametimeo=3D60,rsize=3D65536,wsi= ze=3D65536,readdirsize=3D32768,readahead=3D1,wcommitsize=3D5175966,timeout= =3D120,retrans=3D2 Linux: /usr/local/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final from 192.168.1.1:/vol/linux_jboss Flags: = rw,relatime,vers=3D3,rsize=3D65536,wsize=3D65536,namlen=3D255,hard,proto=3D= tcp,timeo=3D600,retrans=3D2,sec=3Dsys,mountaddr=3D192.168.1.1,mountvers=3D= 3,mountport=3D4046,mountproto=3Dudp,local_lock=3Dnone,addr=3D192.168.1.1 Note, I have time on my side here =85 we are doing a limit pilot over = the next month, but it isn't until Sep/Oct that this project goes live =85= what can we do to narrow down that gap?=20 Thx
