Hi,

First, thanks for your quick replay.

I used the lnet self test and got  reasonable results

Numbers obtained with concurrency = 1

 [LNet Rates of servers]
 [R] Avg: 3556     RPC/s Min: 3556     RPC/s Max: 3556     RPC/s
 [W] Avg: 4742     RPC/s Min: 4742     RPC/s Max: 4742     RPC/s
 [LNet Bandwidth of servers]
 [R] Avg: 1185.72  MB/s  Min: 1185.72  MB/s  Max: 1185.72  MB/s
 [W] Avg: 1185.72  MB/s  Min: 1185.72  MB/s  Max: 1185.72  MB/s
-------------------

The question is what is the meaning of the concurrency=1 flag. Does it mean
a single thread at the client
or a sigle thread per core??

My problem is with the case=netdisk that gives me low performance for single
thread (the dd case).
(as well as with the ost_survey case).

Is the case=netdisk a valid test ??

I am trying to isolate the problem and the case=netdisk alows me to avoid
accessing the mds (right?)

Any Idea??
