I guess I'll have to ditch my SAMBA 3 whitepapers and look into
the NFS thingie some more!
Always explore the options.
And I assume the NFS has "workable" access and file
permissioning?
Linux box to Linux box, it works virtually the same as using a local
hard drive. I can't remember about Windows to Linux (it was long ago).
Samba, when you use some of the extensions can do apparently native
Linux to Linux behaviour, but I found it far more convoluted than using
NFS.
NFS has security implications, and it's not without reason it got known
as no f*g security. Samba also has security implications, especially
when people set it up to have none (the same people who drop firewalls,
turn off SELinux, have everything world writeable...).
Hmm....still don't know why everyone thinks Windows is the best
and
brightest?!....
Brainwashing... Or, given no choice, they just go with the flow.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
