Hello I have been doing some performance checks on Coda comparing it with NFS and Samba. My results are good specially I was impresed how fast Coda could access the Cashe on the local disk. It is allthough one thing bothering me. When I open file for reading and writing (r+), read the whole file without doing any changes Coda is much less efficient than the other file systems. I think that the reason is that Coda will contackt the server after the raedings storing the whole file assuming that it was modified (this can been seen with codacon). I am not quite sure but I thing the other file systems detect that no changes has been made to the file limiting the Server-Client communication. If my idea is right, is there any good explanation of why it is so. Thanks ThorvaldurReceived on 2000-05-22 08:25:43
