I've connected through cfs for years but gave it up now that I have to co=
nnect
to more than one file server =E2=80=94 cfs isn't good at tracking what se=
rver you use and
will interpret cached data from one server as belonging to another.  Not =
good.

Cfs gives a fair amount of speedup.  It still contacts the server on ever=
y open,
but, if the file hasn't changed, won't need to fetch it from the server a=
gain.
