Storage reads are slow, although disks are healthy. What is worth checking?
Why D is the answer
Network path, mount options and client tuning
Storage performance also depends on the network and client.
In detail
- Storage speed also depends on the network and client.
- Performance depends on the client too.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Disks are healthy, but a mount option limits reads.

Why the other options are wrong
- A. The GPU fan curve in the BMC
- A fan curve is not in the storage path.
- B. The sampling temperature of the model
- Temperature is a model setting.
- C. The GPU power limit on each node
- A GPU power limit is not in the storage path.
