fstab v terminal mount

[eggbanjo]

i've noticed that if i hard mount shares via fstab the transfer rates between them seem half as fast as if i do it via terminal

10.0.0.103:/mnt/Films/ /home/n1ck/drives/films/ nfs nouser,hard,intr,async,atime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,no suid 0 0 Gives me speeds of 10-20MB/s

sudo mount -t nfs 10.0.0.103:/mnt/Films/ /home/n1ck/drives/films/ Gives me 30-40


whys that??

Probably due to all those options in the fstab. In particular, try changing "atime" to "noatime"

Re: fstab v terminal mount

forgetting all the 'options' then, what would be the optimum example, giving me rw access to these drives, and having them auto mount?

You can try 'defaults' option in fstab (it should give you the same options as in your manual mount command, see 'man mount' for the default options, and 'man nfs' for nfs specific options)

10.0.0.103:/mnt/Films/ /home/n1ck/drives/films/ nfs defaults 0 0

(Of course this may not be 'optimal' for your use case, but at least it should be the same as your manual mount example with no options provided)

cleared off all the options and went default, speed increased greatly.

Wasn't aware that the options would affect the speed, nice to know
