Thanks Bill and thanks Doug! While the sample size is small there are some interesting things in the data. Just my 2 cents (probably worth alot less than that).
- It looks like alot of people are just using Linux Servers and not appliances (perhaps moving toward more of the open-storage model). - It's also interesting that people aren't seeing NFS timeouts like they used to. I remember a number of years NFS timeouts were very common and people really trashed NFS as a result. - The NFS options are also interesting. One thing I thought was cool was that a few people are using "async". Using async mounts can improve performance if you have a copy of the data somewhere. Basically it becomes a scratch file system. - Looks like /home is the place to use NFS :) But people are using it other places (e.g. /usr/local). - It's really cool that almost 50% of the respondents are using NFS for 65+ nodes (24% above 512). - About 65% of the respondents are using Ethernet for the network. Very interesting results. Thanks!
