NFS doesn't like when it looses connection to the server. The only |
| 38 |
problems I had ever with NFS were because I forgot to unmout it before a |
| 39 |
server restart or when I took a computer (laptop) off to another |
| 40 |
network... |
| 41 |
Otherwise it works well, esp. when mounted ro on the clients, however |
| 42 |
for distfiles it might make sense to allow the clients download and save |
| 43 |
tarballs that are not there yet ;), though I never used it with many |
| 44 |
computer emerging/downloading same same stuff, so can't say if locking |
| 45 |
etc works correctly... |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
And with NFS the clients won't duplicate the files in their own |
| 48 |
distfiles directories ;) |
