Re: PC Interconnection using AFS

[Jim . Rees]

  Actually, NFS scales reasonably well. 
  With 10,000 accounts, we put 1000 accounts on each NFS server,
  probalistically, only 10% of those are reading or writing a file at a
  time, so the system does just fine. 

Where did you put the volumes, like /usr, that every client uses all the
time?

  We migrated off NFS  over the Summer of 1992, not because NFS didn't
  scale, but because managing those 1000 filesystems on each server was a
  nightmare.

In other words, NFS doesn't scale.
