Hi everybody,
I've been using Coda over the last six month and would like to report on some of my experiences. I've been using Coda in quite a tiny setup to mirror my home directory. My server is a rather old machine, a pentium 133 with 64 MB RAM, later upgraded to 96 MB RAM and 1.6 GB swap (of which 1GB is used for Coda RVM). The server is also serving as a router with a squid cache/proxy.
I have two clients connecting to the server, one of them is a laptop that is usually only suspended, the other one a plain computer running only occasionally. All systems are running Debian GNU/Linux.
To start with the good things about Coda: when it works, it's really neat to have my files available on both clients without me having to worry about copying them over all the time and keeping track of versions.
If you don't use CODA, please give OpenAFS a shot, it looks very promising.
In my case, ever since I found out the entire file has to complete transferring before one byte is accessable pretty much ruled it out for my uses.
