Hello all, Do you guys use NFS v4 in production? Is the Linux implementation ready enough? The feeling I'm getting by looking at RH doc and other web sites is that v4 was added in a hurry and is not mainstream yet. I don't want to use something too cutting edge that will break down the road. Is that the case? In my case, it would be a CentOS5 server with CentOS4 client.
I tried implementing it a year/18 months or so back for an NFS mounted Qmail mailstore for around 8000 accounts. NFS v2/3 had been running fine off an FC-based server for a few years but we wanted to standardise on CentOS 4. During the migration I managed to get NFSv4 working to my satisfaction and rudimentary load tests all seemed fine. Under real user load though it just fell on its arse very quickly and a quick fall back to v3 was implemented. Maybe the EL5 implementation behaves better? Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
