I'm transferring big files (78GB) through network, with NFS, but the transfer is finally limited to 6 Gbps (on a 2x10Gb NIC). I cannot find the bottleneck for now. Here my setup: 1 Server MB: Supermicro X10DRH-C (pcie 3.0), only one cpu NIC: 2 x 10Gb (intel X710-T2L) 64GB of DDR4 (2400Mhz) HBA: LSI 9311-8i => 2 mini SAS hd connected to SAS 12Gb backplane
Goal: Clarify whether Neo4j’s storage layer should automatically retry obtaining an exclusive lock on its data directory when a transient NFS latency causes the initial lock attempt to fail, or whether it should treat the failure as fatal and shut down immediately. Constraints: The behavior varies between Neo4j 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x releases and can be influence
Goal Ensure a stable synced folder for a Vagrant VM running on a Windows host, using NFS for performance while avoiding silent mount failures. Constraints NFS provisioner on Windows may silently fail when the Windows NFS client or firewall is misconfigured. Vagrant documentation does not specify a fallback to VirtualBox shared folders when NFS fails. Mount a
