I have recently purchased a RaidZone (http://www.raidzone.com/) disk
array. The hardware in this unit seems pretty good but their knowlege
of Linux, NFS, and it's filesystems seems to suck rocks. They don't
seem to talk with any authority on any of these technologies. I am
hoping you will indulge my query.
The main issue I guess is with ReiserFS and KNFS. Their kernel supports
KNFS and ReiserFS but they don't enable KNFS on these units. Instead
they use the older usermode NFS due to "performance problems with
ReiserFS and KNFS".
Are these claims of bad performance of ReiserFS with KNFS true? What is
the issue? Will it be solved any time soon? For the record, they are
shipping a 2.2.14 kernel.
Thanx,
b.
