Re: [MooseFS-Users] Network overhead and best method of sharing

[Aleksander W. <ale...@mo...>]

Hi Raffaello

If you use OS which supports MooseFS-client try to not use any re-share method. You will always add another layer in communication during re-share. Direct use of mfsmount will always be better.

But if you like to use MooseFS on Windows or storage for Virtualisation try to use SAMBA/iSCSI Target.
We are not advising to use NFS as re-share method.
