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

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

Question is what kind of software are you using as NFS server?

We have lots of bad experience in performance and stability with
nfs-kernel-server and mfsmount.
It's rather not good idea to use nfs-kernel-server and mfsmount in
production environment.

Can you tell as something more about your configuration?
What NFS software are you using?

A would like to add that MooseFS have native client for most popular
operating systems:

- Ubuntu 10/12/14
- Debian 5/6/7/8
- RHEL/CentOS versions 5/6/7
- OpenSUSE 12
- FreeBSD 9.3/10
- MacOS X 10.9/10.10
- Raspberry Pi 2
