Depends on the polling frequency and the number of locations that have to be polled for the autodeployment monitoring. Personally, I wouldn't use autodeploy in a production environment, even on local disks. Haven't seen any significant performance hits using either SMB or NFS mounts on Linux for data that is primarily read-only (due to the file system cache). Network polling shouldn't be noticeably more expensive in CPU time than local polling, although the latency will obviously be much higher. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
