Hi,
We need to use FreeBSD as a quite big (~150GB) NFS server serving
around 200 clients.
The hardware is ready-to-go, and the installation time has come.
Is it worth it to use FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT (as I heard, becoming -RELEASE
on next monday?), or is the NFS performance gain for such a server
minimal compared to 3.4-STABLE ? In which case I'd rather use that
(3.4-)stable branch on my server.
The server is quite fast, using SMP, and has a bunch of FastEthernet
adapters.
thanks in advance.
Jerome.
