I have 7 SLES VM. I am compiling always the newest version ofgcc and all dependencies.Apache and all dependencies.PHP and all dependencies.MySQL and all dependencies.glibc and all dependencies.In total this means I have to maintain about 20 different programs on each of the 7 VM. My question:I am just wondering if it is a good idea I create a NFS which I mount on each of the 7 VM and therefore I have to compile and maintain all these programs only once. I don't think the lower speed of the NFS does matter because the programs are loaded once into the cache when they are needed and kept in RAM as long they run. Each VM has enough RAM [>4 GB].I guess that all of the 7 VM must have the same OS version.
Using a NFS for gcc, Apache, PHP, MySQL, glibc
