Performance

Software is not a limitation for operations like file copy. On my 1 gigabit Ethernet connection I got 100MiB+ of bandwidth, measured using dd tool.

Limitations

  • At any time, each file can be opened by only one process. In other words, you can have two processes cat a and cat b working at the same time, but no cat a and cat a.
