Coda is a developing project...it's still very buggy (and very alpha) but it could be worth a look. I know that I will be pounding on it a little bit in the future. I don't know much about NFS, but Coda is sure to be (at this point) far worse than any other file system. But...like I said...it's a very complex system that they are STILL developing. > SMB is (despite the microsoft connections) is a reasonable network The only real m$ connection to SMB that I can make is that of a POOR implementation of it. "Windows networking" has come to mean SMB on netbeui...EEK! REAL SMB networking (IMVHO) is on ROUTED TCPIP ala Samba. > As an aside/addendum, does anyone know of a decent network filesystem > that FreeBSD can support? This would be helpful specifically to I don't know about "decent" yet, but I know that Coda has a really big "COOL!" factor to it, and if you can afford the servers, mirroring the fs is supposed to be a snap. Not really a recommendation, but definitely a "you should give it a look". ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Short Colossians 3:23 ashort@concentric.net http://www.concentric.net/~ashort/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
