- In terms of a performance issue, it is better to have more or less NFS mount
- points to/from various servers?
-
- Example,
- In our cluster, we have dual servers, both providing various user and
- application partitions. Server1 has our commercial apps, client space for
- Netboot clients, User space and pd software.
- Server2 has User partitions plus various other directories:
-
- Server1 Server2
-
- /LocalApp /User
- /PublicApp /User2
- /User /General_stuff
- /client /client
-
- Would it be better to do:
-
- 1) Single mount points for each server, i.e., /Server1Mount and
- /Server2Mount and then link everything over
-
- or
-
- 2) Separate mount points for each of the exported directories/partitions
-
- Currently we are undertaking a mixture of 1 and 2 and we would like to make
- our NFS services more efficient. The problem with (1) is that it is harder
- to manage.
-
- Suggestions???
