[SNIP] ============== NFS HOWTO Says this ========= This is a problem with the fsync() function in 2.2 kernels that causes all sync-to-disk requests to be cumulative, resulting in a write time that is quadratic in the file size. If you can, upgrading to a 2.4 kernel should solve the problem. Also, exporting with the no_wdelay option forces the program to use o_sync() instead, which may prove faster.
====================================== (snip)
He is using FC1.. This means he is using atleast 2.4.21 kernel and hence the above problem is not with the kernel. Is the LAN thru a hub or a switch.. I have used both and it seems that a hub slows things down a lot.... If this does not help... try asking on IRC #fedora on irc.freenode.net. Those guys can help you with almost anything..

So look out for info on net, that may help. Regards Tapeshwar
Strange. For you the abbv., NFS = Network Failure System seems to be particularly true.
