Yeah, but NFS, especially without the realpath cache, which you lose if you turn on open_basedir, is deathly slow because of all the stats. Typically PHP scripts are not actually "writable files" and the way to keep them in synch across multiple machines is to use a deploy mechanism/rsynch to deploy them. You may very well have some writable files that need to be shared at the app-level, but then we wouldn't be talking about PHP stat calls and the realpath cache. And most people have moved to something like memcache for sharing writable data across machines. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
