Oggetto: Re: NDO & CIFS
I was also excited to hear about general NFS-like NDU possibilities for CIFS clients when cDOT8.2.1 came out with SMB3.0 support. The reality is that this capability has limited uses (Hyper-V, SQL Server), due to the additional overhead
required to store and replicate persistent handle information (key to the NDU function) between nodes in an HA pair. I take that to mean, go ahead and use this feature if your share has a handful of files, but not if it has millions, typical of most file
shares.
Here’s a TR that does a pretty good job of discussing the details under the cover, with a specific recommendation to only use this on Hyper-V over SMB shares.
