NSS Linux slower than NSS Netware

[bytehd]

Based on the sessions and from talking with people, nothing beats the NetWare kernel as a file server. Novell said in one of the breakout sessions that the NSS file system on Linux performs 21 to 47 percent slower than it does on NetWare, depending on the workload. NSS on Linux is comparable to some of the other file systems available for Linux."

Hi,

i can agree with you, my testings are bringing the same result, the nss on the Linux kernal is defintily slower then on the netware kernal (round about 30%)

Also the next problem is, our backup software (legato networker) has no nss client for linux !

Cheers
