Things are working, but seem pretty slow.  I'm getting about 10mb/sec.
I was wondering where the bottleneck could be?  Is there a way to
optimize the NFS service for better throughput?

I am accessing over 127.0.0.1


Are the server and client coming from the same back-end spindles (I
realize this is localhost)?  How many spindles are involved?

If you are reading/writing to the same disk(s) expect seeking to eat
up the vast majority of potential throughput unless you have a total
pool of sufficient IOPS.

One server is a single drive and a second server has two 300gb velociraptors mirrored on a Dell Perc 5/i.

Either way I should be getting higher speeds. I'm getting about over 100MB/s when testing /dev/sda3 with hdparm.

Is there a test I can do to eliminate the disks as a bottleneck? Maybe set something up in RAM?
