Re: mount nullfs
It means mount_nullfs doesn't exist anymore (it's in the attic) and a local NFS mount works. I said nothing about performance. I haven't tested that and don't really care. Back when nullfs existed, it had serious problems (mtime not updating, etc). I'm sure that's why it went away. I can't call a local NFS mount a perfect solution (there's a *lot* of complexity added there) but it does work at least for my purposes and satisfies everything I used to use null mounts for. -Dan On 4/16/2011 12:18 PM, Robert Halberg wrote: Does this mean that the performance of a local NFS mount is actually better than that of mount_nullfs?
