Impaired file system...
Well... I did mention I had to reinstall NFS from scratch... of course it took the exports file with it. It was missing the primary speed enhancer going... asyn . Re-enabling that appears to have gotten performance back where I was expecting it. With perhaps a few new other optimisations that I wouldn't have bothered with if it hadn't been behaving to slowly.
And on the other side, of course the first wall I decided to beat my head against was in fact samba.. not much you can do there, although I do have 3 new
options in place for testing. Took a while for the realisation to sink in, the
BBS isn't even using samba you donkey its NFS...
At a lower level poking about with iperf only served to confirm that the network physically is just fine. Although my home cabling isn't managing Gb speeds on the run to the daily drive PC. The cabling issue is one I've come across before. I'm unsure why, might be the length, this one is about 8M give or take. But I can't get hand made cat5e cabling to give me Gb negotiations..
