[ckan-dev] FileStore

Wed May 14 01:18:14 UTC 2014

We use NFS in production and the only issue was some race conditions
with the FileStore file upload in older versions of CKAN (file was
uploaded but an error could occur if the file wasn't yet visible on
the next server to request that path - inserting a small delay
resolved this).
CKAN version 2.2 does file upload in a single API call and we have no
timing or performance issues with that.
