Samba is only used for MS Windows and laptops. Few things I always make sure are valid: - One partition per NFS share - No NFS share is mounted below another one - I set the version to 3 on the clients - I use LDAP for the user accounts to ensure the UIDs and GIDs are consis= tent. NFS4 requires all the exports to be under a single foldertree. I haven't had any issues in the past 7+ years with this and in the past 5= + years I had portage, distfiles and packages shared. /etc/portage is symlinked to a NFS share as well, allowing me to create b= inary packages on a single host (inside a chroot) which are then used to = update the different machines. If anyone wants a more detailed description of my setup. Let me know and = I will try to write something up. Kind regards Joost --=20 Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
