I think it means you can mount an EFS instance on OS X
- wmf 12y agoYes, but NFS over the Internet may not be fast enough to be usable.
- alrs 12y agoBack in olden times Linux installation floppies provided the option of installing from an NFS share.
- zippergz 12y agoWe used to do it over 10Base-T, which is slower than a lot of residential connections now. Well, latency will be higher over the internet, but bandwidth will be ok.
- dekhn 12y agoThat's the whole point. Since NFS is such a round-trip oriented protocol, it's very sensitive to latency. You'll never fill up the bandwidth unless you do large bulk transfers in parallel.
- Drdrdrq 12y agoBut you can only use efs with ec2, which doesn't support osx.
- cwyers 12y agoNo, it doesn't. From the announcement: "Only Amazon EC2 instances within the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) you specify can directly access your Amazon EFS file systems."
