Re: FSFS performance on NAS/NFS

Hi Justin -

The thread you referenced indicates the file open/close bottlenecks when
going over
a network to a NFS server. If you have a separate GigE between your
Subversion server
machine and the NAS appliance, it could alleviate some of the network
performance
problem. Hopefully your NAS is not connected to the general network used
by the rest
of the company. If it did, anytime someone did a large download over the
network or max'd
out the bandwidth, your NFS performance will begin to really suck. My
recommendation
would be to have a separate GigE NIC on the SVN machine and use that to
connect to the NAS.
