NFS Over RDMA

1. 前置条件

存储与使用存储的节点组成 RDMA 网络
RDMA 设备配置了 IP 地址
如果使用的是 Mellanox 网卡，在安装驱动时需要加上参数 -with-nfsrdma

`1`	`./mlnxofedinstall --with-nfsrdma`

2. 服务端启动

安装依赖

`1`	`apt install nfs-kernel-server rdma-core -y`

加载内核模块

将端口加入 portlist

`1`	`echo 'rdma 20049' \| tee /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist`

1

3

vim /etc/exports

/data1/nfs  *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

启动 NFS 服务

`1`	`systemctl start nfs-server.service`

检测挂载点

3

exportfs -v

/data1/nfs      <world>(rw,wdelay,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sec=sys,rw,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash

3. 客户端挂载

安装依赖

`1`	`apt install nfs-common rdma-core -y`

加载内核模块

普通 NFS 挂载

`1`	`mount -t nfs x.x.x.x:/data1/nfs /data1/nfs`

NFS Over RDMA 挂载

`1`	`mount -o proto=rdma,port=20049,vers=4 10.10.x.x:/data1/nfs /data1/nfs`

需要注意，一台主机上不能同时挂载普通 NFS 和 NFS Over RDMA。

5. 总结

本篇主要是介绍了 NFS Over RDMA 的配置与性能测试，从测试结果来看:

无论是大文件还是小文件，NFS Over RDMA 的性能都要优于 NFS
文件越大，NFS Over RDMA 的写性能越接近主机磁盘

NFS Over RDMA 的读取大文件性能远超主机上进行的测试，无论是改变持续时间还是并发数都能得到一致的结果，这有点无法解释。但从监控可以看到 RDMA 数据传输带宽与 FIO 测试结果一致，似乎又在说明结果是正确的。

难道是 NFS Over RDMA 的缓存机制所致?
