- We are a group of 20 users in 3d imageing envoirenment. We plan to buy the
- new INDIGO R4000 machines. We would like to use on of the machines as a file
- server. All users home directories will be NFS mounted to other SUN SPARC1s and
- the new INDIGOs. I am concerned about disk I/O performance in such a setup.
- (Disk will be 1.2Gb FAST (?) SCSI )
-
- Does any one haave any experience in this type of setup.
- (using INDIGO R3000 or R4000 ) :
- -How well does it perform in terms of NFS activity ?
- (our data files are usally 8-16Mb)
- -Wil there be any problems if we also use the server for normal computation
- and graphic display. ?
-
- Your suggetions or comments in this matter will be greatly appericiated.
- please e-mail it to me.
-
- Thanks in advance !!!
