srsly? as if the two have anything in common and the same complexity?
- selfhoster11 5y agoExactly. NFS takes a couple of lines in /etc/exports. Ceph is large, scary, and multi-node.
- Spivak 5y agoThey solve all the same operational problems — how do I access these files on multiple machines but NFS is strictly worse in pretty much every way to GlusterFS and Ceph. NFSs HA story is almost nonexistent and comes with list of buts that’s longer than the positives. As a technology it’s dead for anything other than the tiniest of internal IT use cases.
