There are many different sparc processors, that's what I mean. NFS just isn't all that fast on my old hyperSPARC even though it is a relatively fast one, for its time. > this is a bit OT, but i heard that NFS on linux has bad performance > anyway. someone with experience here? coda might be better? I have extensive experience with both, and believe me coda is quite slow by comparison. NFS on linux doesn't have the very well multithreaded performance of the Solaris or HPUX implementations on SMP systems, but hey, it costs less! For modest setups, is works great, and with the same performance as solaris on single cpu systems, ie., limited more by media speed or processor speed than code execution speed. a
