Mark,
Thanks, my architecture is extremely similar to yours, except that in my
case the "second layer", if I may say so, is MooseFS (
http://www.moosefs.org/ ), not NFS. MooseFS itself is blazing, by the way.
So the diagram in my case would look something like this:
/export/thatdir --NFS--> /target/dir
/s2/source
/source/dir -- MooseFS mount (mfsmount)
-->/s2/source
The discrepancy in the resultant performance is comparable.
Thanks.
Boris.
