It works fine but the only problem is that it is terribly slow. The NFS server version is 2.2.47-cygwin. I am running the nfs server through cygwin version 2.125.2.10 on a windows NT machine with pentium III 800 MHZ and 128 MB RAM. I am mounting the exported filesystem on a linux machine which is connected to the windows machine through ethernet LAN. The LAN performance is good. When I execute a 'ls -l' command on the client it takes more than two minutes. Following is the output of the timed 'ls -l' command. [root@raindrop mnt]# time ls -l total 1379 drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 4096 Jan 9 17:16 bin/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 500 513 987652 Jan 9 11:57 cpu1* drwxr-xr-x 3 500 513 0 Jan 9 17:16 dev/ -rw-r--r-- 1 500 513 20480 Jan 9 11:58 dev.tar drwxr-xr-x 7 500 513 8192 Jan 9 17:16 etc/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 513 123 Jan 9 17:16 firewall.cfg -> /tmp/firewall.cfg drwxr-xr-x 3 500 513 4096 Jan 9 17:16 flash0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 0 Apr 10 2002 home/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 513 97 Jan 9 17:16 jffs2 -> /tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 12288 Jan 9 17:16 lib/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 513 105 Jan 9 17:16 log -> /tmp/log drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 0 Apr 10 2002 mnt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 0 Apr 10 2002 opt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 0 Apr 10 2002 proc/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 0 Jan 9 11:57 ramfs/ drwx------ 2 500 513 0 Apr 10 2002 root/ drwxr-xr-x 2 500 513 4096 Jan 9 17:16 sbin/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 513 109 Jan 9 17:16 tmp -> /ramfs/tmp drwxr-xr-x 6 500 513 0 Jan 9 11:57 usr/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 513 109 Jan 9 17:16 var -> /ramfs/var -rw-r--r-- 1 500 513 1781968 Jan 9 17:21 vmlinux real 2m0.712s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.010s [root@raindrop mnt]# When we run linux on the same machine and run the linux nfs server, it is very fast. I understand that the unfsd being totatlly in user space will be somewhat slow but I believe it should not be that slow. Could you please help us in finding what is wrong.
