Not sure where you got that "data" from. I have been using NFS for 3 years to mount a *very* low end DNS-323. The NFS part has been rock stable (though initially I had some issues due to bugs in the old 2.6.12 linux kernel running on the NAS) I believe several other people run NFS successfully too at least based on my reading of this list. Also NFS has been tried & true for decades and was stable even back in the "old" pre-pc days... Now I am not saying that there aren't newer or maybe even better/faster etc. solutions but your statement on NFS for backuppc is just not based in fact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
