<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks Yaron, after the change to disable encryption we were able to increase the speed via Ubuntu of copying files from the local desktop to our gpfs filestore with average speeds of 60Mbps.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also tried changing the mount from vers=3.0 to vers=2.1, which gave similar figures<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, using the Ubuntu gui ( Unity ) the speed drops down to 7Mbps, however, we’re not concerned as the user will use rsync / cp.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other issue is copying data from gpfs filestore to the local HDD, which resulted in 4Mbps.<o:p></o:p></p>
