Hi everyone. A few months ago I encounter NFS limitation when I need to restore a database file with size more than 300MB. NFS simply time out when in use. So, I switched to use docker-sync instead. For the databases, I use named volumes and only pull the files out as a backup rather than mounting the data folder using NFS / osxfs / vboxsf. So, now I don’t use NFS or any shared folder anymore. The development synced to named volumes using unison wrapped by the docker-sync gem.
For those who struggle with the slowness of the available shared folder, try docker-sync and see if it help you in your work with docker.
