We run a number of servers, including our development server with
multiple users, on SMP and it's. totally. bulletproof.

as long as you don't put the SMP kernel on a single process board.

     Hello list,

     I'm in the process of creating a large NFS system for exporting mail
   spools (Maildir) to several frontend mail servers, and wanted to know about
   potential issues to look for. The system will be a dual p3 with a lot of ram
   and hardware raid, and i'm testing fbsd 4.3 vs linux 2.4 for NFS sharing.
   I'm concerned about SMP (not speed, but stability) on fbsd, and am looking
   for honest advice on which use. I will be running my own tests on each, but
   look forward to input from the list.
