Has anyone made cap50 run across a GatorBox? -- Benson I. Margulies odi!benson@talcott.harvard.edu

Works fine. Or, at least, PAP works fine, which means everything below it does. I've not tried using aufs, though. No need to. -David Kovar

We use AUFS thru a GatorBox here, and get very good performance. Talking
from our Mac II's to a SUN 4 file server, it's about 3 times faster using
AUFS thru a GatorBox than over a FastPath 2, and about 3 times faster using
AUFS on the GatorBox rather than using NFS.

Tharen D. Debold --- end of mail message --- I have no doubt the GatorBox is faster, however, comparing it to a FastPath *2* is not very fair, especially with a Sun 4 as the server. I compared the GatorBox NFS with Aufs through a FastPath *4* and found the GatorBox to be *a hare* slower. This wasjust *single* user however, how their performance compares in traffic is another story...*that* I will post later... In addition, I think you will find the performance of the Fastpath 2 to increase a fair amount if you slow the packets down coming from the Sun 4 (aufs -S option) its just to fast a machine for a lowly old FastPath 2...
