Re: [CentOS] htdocs on NFS share / any pitfalls?

i have a new setup where the htdocs directory for the webserver is located on a nfs share. Client has cachefilesd configured. Compared to the old setup (htdocs directory is on the local disk) the performance is not so gratifying. The disk is "faster" compared to the ethernet link but the cache should at least compensate this a bit. Do they exist more pitfalls for such configurations?

If I needed to serve files from an nfs share, I'd use rsync to pull down a local copy of the files to the webserver. This would give you the benefits of using the nfs location without the network latency.
