What file system are you using?
NFS shared between 6 web servers !!
I know, not a great set up but it was already designed when I turned up
Nothing wrong with that.
Very slow Howard when its the application code base

*definitely* don't do that. That's crazy.
NFS is fine for the 'moodledata' area (but not for the cache)
No, No
We have moodledata on NFS
And the
Moodle application on NFS
which is crap.
We have 3 x memedcache servers for the cache
Moodledata is fine
Moodle codebase (application), is not
Place doesn't want to rsync the 6 webs and decided very early not to cluster the webs, so I am left with a donkey
"NFS is fine for the 'moodledata' area (but not for the cache)"
What Cache?????
Where should we store the cache, then? Cache is stored in the moodledata folder? no?
On a load-balanced system you *have* to use an external shared cache. I recommend Redis but you do have other choices.
If you cache on shared NFS - well, you will regret it
