this has probably been asked a million times, but i'm currently looking into file storage options for my employer and was wondering what the opinions are on coda's stability and whether it's usable in a production environment, and how it scales up against nfs. basically our options right now are: purchase a netapp and use nfs, or purchase some other sort of file storage array to hook into a [linux] machine via scsi/fiber and then use either nfs or coda or some network sharing option. currently we're really only using shared filesystem space for static images and product descriptions on our site, and it will probably stay that way for quite some time, so i'm much more concerned with reads than writes. there won't be rapidly-changing data. what opinions do you guys have on utilizing coda over nfs? thoughts on stability, reliability, failsafe-ness, and anything else that comes to mind would be appreciated. thanks! -tcl.Received on 2000-07-11 20:01:45
