I am working on a development network that uses NFS so that home directories etc can be accessed from any machine. However, NFS is occasionally flaky, causing slowdown/freezing of the machines.I am working on server-side code, using a development copy running on my machine. It does a lot of filesystem and database access, so make it more responsive, I have moved the files onto the local disk and put a symlink in the original directory on NFS.But, if NFS is responding poorly, will the symlink act as a bottleneck, preventing quick access to local files? Or will it be cached so as to avoid this problem?
If symlink on NFS points to local disk, will advantage of local disk be lost?
symlink;nfs
