[Bug 1071978] Re: nfs kernel server is very slow and causing high cpu load

[Dave Gilbert]

note that sudo echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio    will give you the perm denied (because the > is in the parent shell)
so if you do

echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio

from a root shell (e.g. sudo -s ) it should work.

Title:
  nfs kernel server is very slow and causing high cpu load

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have been noticing nfs-kernel server causing very high cpu load and
  the transfers are incredibly slow. In fact for big files, it tends to
  hang up completely and never finish.

  I did try briefly to test the 3.5 backport kernel however that also
  seemed to have the same issue.

  This may be a duplication of bug #879334, however that bug is missing
  log files, and apport-collect told me to file a new bug report
  instead.
