Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to boost my NFS speed and php uploads.
File is uploaded to the webserver's local tmp dir
With PHP I copy the file userxxx.zip to the NFS
With PHP I extract the userxxx.zip on the NFS to another dir on the NFS.
What I'm finding is the file is in Step 3, the file is being read through the NFS by the web server, processed by the web server, and uploaded back across the NFS.
Speeds as expected are very slow.
Might a possible solution be to get the Fileserver to extract the zip? a) Webserver copies the file to the NFS b) Webserver makes a web service call to the Fileserver c) Fileserver can now unzip the file like it's local and the speeds should be much faster.
I would appreciate any suggestion anyone how people have approached this problem.
(I'm aware that php ZipArchive() is very slow, and I'll likely use java or php exec unzip to speed it up)
Thanks
