NFS client is slow when copying from Mac OS X to Brisque


Product		Brisque^® 5.x Brisque 4.x Brisque Serve 4.0.37
Platform		All platforms
Operating system		IBM^® AIX^® 4.3.3, 5.2

Symptoms		Customers are complaining that the NFS copy speed is slow between Mac OS^® X and Brisque.

Cause		The same phenomena occurs on Windows^® NFS (SFU) share that is mounted on OSX (tested with OSX versions 10.3.7, 10.3.8, 10.4). This indicates that this problem is not a Brisque issue, but a pure OSX NFS client issue. An additional implication of this problem is that bad .rsrc files are created on Brisque volumes.

Solution		Since AppleShare^® mount on OSX is normally faster, it is recommended to use this type of mount, rather than the NFS mount.
