Does anyone know what the overhead of fpolicy translates into?  Specifically I’m looking at NTP QFS for external quota management (no file blocking).

Right now I can’t test under load, just functional (minimal lab environment) but I’d like some idea of overhead before going too far down the path.  For instance, if having fpolicy enabled for such a function will add 20%, I may as well stop now.  But if it’s 2% then everything’s rosy.

As an aside, I’m also looking at the security audit and reporting product from Likewise, now EMC-Isilon.  It also uses fpolicy and cifs auditing.  I do not yet have this in the lab but any input on this would also be appreciated.

Thanks.
