slow response for NFS mounting

WLT_1 — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 02:12:29 GMT

Running TCPIP V5.4 - ECO 5 on OpenVMS V7.3-2
mount a directory from unix server with following command

$ tcpip mount dnfs1:/host="klmsxebs.klm.com"/path="/home/converter"/server_type=unix/convert/adf=create/system

We encounter very slow response for this NFS device. Below is the time stamp when i perform a dir/total on it.

29-AUG-2007 14:36:33

Directory DNFS1:[000000]

Total of 27538 files.
29-AUG-2007 14:44:00

Anyone with some ideas to improve the response time?

Teong,

to begin with: WELCOME to the VMS Forum!

Can you quantify "very slow" ? seconds? minutes?

I assume that the network connection _IS_ functioning correctly for other functions?

From your question:

>>>
Total of 27538 files.
<<<

That's the most likely reason.

Try to organise those files in into several smaller directories, and your respose will improve.

Proost.

Have one on me.

Network connection is functioning correctly for other service. But when i perform a show mount in tcpip utility it tooks around 6 minutes to dispaly all the mounted directory. Other server that have the same mounting tooks can display the content immediately.
