The sqlite people claim (claimed?) that it's too dangerous to use on NFS, due to poor mutex locking support on that filesystem (and other network filesystems, including CIFS, AFS and SSHFS). And there's that case where the idiots at MoCo and GNOME are calling fsync all the time because their databases can't cope with the long (default) commit intervals of ext4 and btrfs. I'm not saying it can't be done right. I'd just like some confidence that Darcs *will* do it right. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
