I think so.  It's hard to say, because the only network I use on a regular
basis that's running knfsd is my home network, which obviously is far from a
real-world setup (100 MBit, low traffic, etc.).  I've been using it there
ever since I set it up when I moved out here, so I can't really compare unfs
vs. knfs. It feels quite snappy to Solaris and other Linux boxes.  It took a
bit of playing around to get decent performance between the linux boxes and
FreeBSD but that's probably since been fixed and no one cares about *BSD
anyway.

I've recently set it up in other places (either Linux only or mixed Linux /
Solaris) and not heard any complaints....

later,
chris
