Everyone Knows NFS is Evil
on Jun.05, 2004, under Happenings, Linux
Many of my CTI coworkers have long held the opinion that NFS is to be avoided, based on their own observations and the horror stories of others. Those who have used it recently seem to find it less unstable, but more of a pain to firewall. Today my file server locked up while I was playing an AVI from it. The AVI hung on my desktop, but as soon as the file server had rebooted, the file began playing again on its own… no intervention. I was impressed.
Some Big Springians have got their RSVPs for the picnic in under (or a little over 😉 the wire. I was beginning to wonder if they were still around…
