Hi David, There is no explicit protection for disk access to prevent i/o conflicts between different applications (and nothing specific to NFS or other networked drives), but disk access is relatively rare and reasonably well encapsulated. So, yes there are "potential problems", though I don't think it would be related to NFS. Unless you have to instances of Athena trying to write to the same project file, I wouldn't expect too many problems, and don't see them myself (on NFS or SMB mounted disks). Are you seeing problems? --Matt On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 11:44 AM, David Ehle wrote:

Bruce,

Is Athena NFS safe?  i.e. If you have a user logged in on two different computers using a single NFS mounted home directory, are there any potential problems or conflicts when running Athena on both computers?

Thanks!

David. _______________________________________________ Ifeffit mailing list Ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit
