efficiency over NFS

[John Yates]

Correct me if I am wrong, but did not NFSv4 address the issue of stat
performance?

If that is the case then this scenario applies only to those using older
versions of NFS.  The number of shops creating these highly NFS-based
environments, wanting to adopt cutting edge dvc technology, and yet
unwilling to avail themselves of the benefits of NFSv4 must be rather
small.
