I hope you can help me with me problem with EFS.
I have installed Moodle on an Amazon EC2 and I mounted EFS following the guides provided in the website.
The problem I face is that Moodle is very slow when using EFS.
I did the following tests:
- EFS + RDS = slow
- EFS + local MySQL = slow
- Local Filesystem + RDS = perferct perfomance
- Local Filesystem + Local MySQL= perferct perfomance
EFS performance is set to Max I/O and I have read the additional considerations here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/mounting-fs-mount-cmd-general.html
Is there anything else that I miss?
Could you please give me some ideas, on what might be the problem?
Thank you for your time to read this post

I have the same problem. One solution is to create a virtual server with network performance and SSD disks and makeit the NFS for the EC2 instances. Sounds insane, but EFS doesn´t work.
If you get the things done in AWS/EFS, please let me know how.
