It's a known Arla issue (the file overwriting thing), but I believe it's too extensive for us to fix it for them. Arla developers would have to work on it. RE:Performance, it seems to perform fine enough for me. YMMV. You can configure a low- and high- watermark for the local cache, so once the files are cached, read is instantaneous, and write+close sometimes would pause if my network is slow. RE:Stability, I haven't encountered bugs. But one issue does come up: often, if I do something like "cat *" or "cp *" a large number of files, and I hit Ctrl-C, it emitts a scary sounding message to syslog (something like "pipe broken due to lack of data" or something). I always fear that may corrupt AFS files somehow, so I don't do that anymore. :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
