Hello Ariyo, > 1. I don't find any statement that Coda supports 2.4.x kernel. Instead, > I found a statement which said that current development for Coda will be > focused on supporting 2.14 kernel only. Is that true? Hmm, are you sure it was not a typing error? And I assume you mean Linux kernel? Anyway, Coda works well with recent 2.4.x and also with 2.6-test kernels. > 2. Which version of Coda that is considered to be the most stable one? The latest released version is 6.0.3. It is the recommended one. > In my effort searching the latest version of Coda, I always found "THIS > VERSION IS BARELY USED IN PRODUCTION ... bla bla bla" or something like > that. Coda is barely used in production, that's right. There are many aspects which decide if it is suitable for your purposes - typical file size (hundreds Mb and more per file not to recommend) - number of files to be served ("typical Unix files" size distribution translates to a total of max 20-30 Gb per server) - if there is a chance for conflicting updates from different clients - if your users can accept possible conflicts or client reinitializations - is a delay at the first open() acceptable - ... > 3.

Probably yes - that is, rpm should do the setup. Then you probably have to start venus, via an /etc/init.d/.... script. Regards, -- IvanReceived on 2003-11-04 09:39:12
