Several are Linux guys at home..so they are : predisposed in that direction. I've seen several posts on relative : tcp/nfs performance numbers and was under the impression NFS : under FreeBSD was 2-3 times faster. My guess is that FreeBSD NFS is much faster, especially with 100baseT networks. The Linux NFS server is a user level process (one process) so there are two extra bcopies that happen for that server. -- --- Larry McVoy lm@sgi.com http://reality.sgi.com/lm (415) 933-1804
