I have been having write speed problems as well that seem odd. I just did: gdt 23 ~/%co > time dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=32k count=32 32+0 records in 32+0 records out 1048576 bytes transferred in 0.116 secs (9039448 bytes/sec) real 0m51.396s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.014s All the time was in waiting after the dd finished, while the store was in process. Network traffic seems to be flowing. Other clients don't have that much trouble. Very oddly, the trouble persists on my workstation, even though I went from a P6-200/FreeBSD to a PIII-933/NetBSD! But it may be that others are almost always W-D. On a Sparc 5 (NetBSD) in connected mode on a different campus things seem more reasonable (1 MB in 6 s is ~1.3 Mb/s -the sparc is on a 10 Mb/s busy ethernet): ~/%co > time dd if=/dev/zero of=bar bs=32k count=32 32+0 records in 32+0 records out 1048576 bytes transferred in 1 secs (1048576 bytes/sec) real 0m6.358s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.100s Note that I am using transport-mode IPsec as usual.
