Hi,
Has anyone used DFS to access NFS mounts on unix systems (or SAN's such as netapp) with using DFS as a unified namespace. If so, what have your experiences been? Is performance adversely effected at all?
Since it sounds like from the technotes I've read that the domain controllers (dfs servers) need to have the NFS client for windows installed, it makes it sound like the DC's will be proxying all traffic, which for a highly utilized NFS environment I'm wondering if we'll see a huge bottleneck since all transactions will have to be handled by that single client for all unix clients accessing via the unified namespace.
Thoughts anyone?
