I know perfectly well that nfs is a Network File System. But how will using reiser as a backend affect performance, as seen from a client, of a nfs mounted fs (such as /home)? Because if NFS can't really handle lots of small files, then you effectively loose that advantage reiser may have over ext3 etc. ons, 27.10.2004 kl. 16.45 skrev Alexandre Strube: > Em Qua, 2004-10-27 às 12:16, Kyrre Ness Sjobak escreveu: > > What does that do to NFS?
