Re: juk versus hayes

I wonder, do you have anyone using JuK over NFS?

Hayes delays as much as possible, and does as little as possible, and I still get NFS complaints.

It's not significantly worse over NFS on a 10 MB/s LAN than on the local file system (Daniel and I did a good bit of testing with this.). The initial scanning is slow -- but after that on load JuK just stats files on start up (and even that is delayed until after the GUI is up and usable in CVS). With stating files over NFS, your bottleneck is still a hard drive's seek time somewhere.

So while if you're loading 10,000 items over NFS it won't be exciting, you only have to do it once. After that you can read all of the items back in a few seconds.

Ian, who to my knowledge has the record for biggest collection in JuK (50k files) is on NFS.

I do. I have my home directories and MP3s on NFS. Nothing special, a 700MHz P3 with a big disk and a half-gig of RAM. I'm using 2.4.20 with the kernel nfs server on a 100m switched network.

It's perfectly usable. I've been using this setup (with various hardware/disk changes) for many years now without complaint.
