After investigating NFS and trying it out for a couple days, I'm finding the whole system very kludgey (RPC, statd, lockd, portmap, oh my!), and the lack of good security worries me. I'm considering replacing it with Coda, but after browsing some of the docs I'm having second thoughts. I'd appreciate hearing other people's real-world experiences with running coda on Linux on a production server, including stability, memory requirements (somewhere the FAQ said the server takes up lots of memory?), and general performance. Is it practical to run a coda server and client on a box that already has high utilization? I'm running a network of Debian Linux 2.2 boxes (2 servers, 2 clients) and all of them have codafs compiled as a kernel module. I basically won't be using any advanced features; I just want something that, at a minimum, includes the same functionality of NFS. Also, do coda and reiserfs play nicely together? Please cc: any responses directly to me, since I'm not subscribed to this list. Thanks!
