FWIW we run two NFS servers (dual 2.0GHz Opteron 240's) with users split across the two and they cope with 3 clusters, two with ~180 CPUs and one with ~30 CPUs, all run at an average of 83% utilisation over the last 12 months (one at around 92% utilisation for the last 3 months). So yes, NFS should be fine. Just don't try and run Gaussian on it. :-) cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03)9925 4751 - VPAC Deputy Systems Manager Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ Bldg 91, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton South, VIC 3053, Australia
