My takeaway from this is: you think your company is great. No other information was transferred to me in this article.

I learned nothing about FIO, libnfs, NFS, or your patch.

No feature comparison with other efforts. No benchmark comparison with other efforts.

I wasted my time here.

Hmmh, there might be room for improvement, but I appreciate the article and the link here to it. It's been a while that I tried to get the most out of a NFS server and was unaware that it is still used for high performance applications. 25GB/s surely impressed me.

As someone who recently spent two months trying to squeeze the highest perf out of a 160GBit NFS cluster, I’d say the article lacks a _lot_ of detail.

But it’s good to know there are ways to get much more perf out of it.

Yeah this whole process took 2 years in-between usual work. This article was testing the waters to see if people are interested and for direction where to focus followup articles. Future areas of focus could be: diving into modern numa architecture, how to set expectations of hw perf limits, network architecture, pros/cons of S3 vs object in terms of perf.
