I thought that the CPU ran out of power before the pipe was half full, even doing raw data movement for nfs. For sup it will have to traverse file systems so it will be hard to get more than 1MB of throughput per file system. How much throughput can you get through sup? Is it as fast as cvs co ;-). When did FreeFall get a 100 Mb/s pipe? Bruce
