Hi ,


We export the BeeGFS as NFS share to normal NFS client through 10Gb network, but the NFS performance is very low around 20-30MB/s, 
And normal NFS  share (not export BeeGFS) can reach 500-600MB/s.

Is anybody know how to improve NFS performance over BeeGFS?

Best Regards & many thanks,
Bill

which nfs server are you using? Did you try unfs3 already?

Best regards,
Sven

Thank you Sven,

I didn't use unfs3, I just use normal NFS Server on CentOS6.4. I'll try the unfs3 later.

Bill

Hi Chen,

We have the same problem. Did you solve the matter ?

Thanks for your answer.

I'm experiencing the same issue,a client machine without other roles installed with ver 7.1.3 client, kernel nfs3/4 export get a very low speed around 50MB/s,either mount from local server or via FDR IB gets the same result, however local beegfs mount can achieve 2GB/s speed, that's really weird.

Here are  configurations and logs
client:
tuneFileCacheType             = buffered (native/none is tried)
tunePreferredMetaFile         =
tunePreferredStorageFile      =
tuneRemoteFSync               = true (false is tried)
tuneUseGlobalAppendLocks      = false
tuneUseGlobalFileLocks        = false
tuneRefreshOnGetAttr          = true

export:
mount:
mount 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/beenfs -o noatime,nodiratime,async,vers=4.2 (mount 127.0.0.1:/mnt/beegfs won't work in nfs4)

I am assuming BeeGFS uses RDMA for its mounts while NFS isn't by default.

Can you try NFS over RDMA?  Also did you try mounting with "async" as well as increasing "rsize" and "wsize?"

You are not alone.   I'm seeing almost exactly the same thing here.

I'm using CentOS 7 as the NFS gateway.   

I cannot use RDMA for these NFS mounts.  This is kind of the point of the gateway.   

Hopefully, someone with better success can chime in on this issue.

Even with TCP as the transport you should be able to max out at nearly 1GB/s.  RDMA will allow throughput above that assuming the disks can handle.

It sounds like BeeGFS isn't a good replacement for Lustre or GPFS.

Hmm, so back in 2014 I reached around 2GB/s, I think. NFS-over-RDMA
didn't work sufficiently stable, so I used IPoIB. Now that was with the
'paged' mode and an additional tuning setting to avoid cache or
attribute invalidation all the time. I think we had also internally
discussed that the default 'buffered' mode reached the same numbers,
with that specific tuning (I hadn't tested that myself, as NFS using the
page anyway, another BeeGFS cache wouldn't have mattered, imho). Now, I
simply do not remember that specific tuning setting anymore, but I'm
sure it was documented in the wiki made for paying customers.

Grepping a bit through the sources, I *think* it was
tuneFileSubentryCacheValidityMS. Maybe try to set this to something like
2000ms.
Unfortunately, I really don't have the time to try this out myself any
time soon.

Hope it helps,
Bernd

And yet people use it anyway. It must have something going for it. Price perhaps?

I'm not sure why you are exporting BeeGFS as an NFS share instead of using the BeeGFS client to access the filesystem directly.

Simple.  Access control across networks.   Not every machine that needs to mount the data on a BeeGFS has the same security controls.  NFS allows IP based ACL to specific export directories.

That makes sense. BeeGFS might not be the best choice for this use case.

To answer Greg's hypothetical question, what BeeGFS has going for it is Lustre-like performance without a lot of Lustre's headaches. But it doesn't have all the features that other file systems do. It's a good product for what it does, but there's a lot it doesn't do.
