[p4] p4 and NFS?

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

You mount your depot drive onto everyone's client PC?

This is exactly what you must never, ever do with Perforce.

Nothing but the server should mount the depot.  Ever.

(OK, perhaps a backup process / SNAP archive system might do that, but you
know what I mean.)

Paul.

Mike,

Works pretty well.  We have the server located on a Sun, and the depot's
drive (from the Sun) is mounted to everything else (PC's, other Suns, SGI's,
etc).  Everything runs pretty quickly.  About the only time I notice
significant latency is when either our machine with the server on it is
bogged down, or IT does something to temporarily slow the network.

Is it permissible and if so how does p4 perform when
p4 is on one linux box using a depot that is NFS
mounted from another linux box?
