The macs have Appleshare v1.1 > Are you running Ethertalk or LocalTalk on your Mac IIs? Believe it or not, in our testing aufs is almost *twice* as slow on Ethertalk as on LocalTalk.

We just installed a new Fastpath 4 with the K-Star code from Kinetics, and performance is much better. ----------------- David Finkelstein Academic Information Resources Stanford University davef@jessica.stanford.edu
