Re: Hummingbird windows NFS client

<!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]-->

My 2 (disgruntled) cents is that in the past NFS over Windows has been too slow (i.e. not far off par with CIFS…).

 

Good discussion/thread, and point about Windows 7… I’ll give that a kickabout.


Cheers,

I'm not sure if it was this list or somewhere else I was reading recently that bitched pretty hard about the native NFS client being slow. I'd be interested to hear people's observations if they have any, thanks

I actually didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.

 

Going to try it out now.

Hi Tom, I have never tried Hummingbird. But have you seen that Windows 7 Ultimate has a built in NFS client on it? I have tried it very, very lightly. It connected fine, but I never measured performance or anything major. Not sure if 7 is an option for you or not, but figured I would mention it in case it helped.

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone had any massive success with the Hummingbird NFS client for windows?

 

Is there a big performance increase over CIFS on a Windows machine?

 

I know it's quite expensive, especially if you start using it on all your windows machines, and I'd just like to find out if there's a big enough performance increase specifically to the windows client to justify the cost.
