Any technical reports or other references comparing NFS > with RFS or other Network filesystems Try "The Sun Network File System: Design, Implementation and Experience" by Russel Sandberg at Sun. This should be available from your local Sun sales office, publication number FE146-0/20K, 11/87. It contains a comparison of NFS and RFS design philosophies; (basically if you have all SysV.3 machines, RFS provides full Unix semantics; if you have a large network or heterogeneous hosts (e.g. VMS or Mis-DOS or BSD) NFS is the better choice. The two systems are not mutually exclusive though.) Dave Kemp <Kemp@dockmaster.ncsc.mil>
