NFS will be much better for the linux to linux connections because it passes native system calls on the files instead of a protocol that is emulated and made to work.On Thursday 27 March 2008 17:01:13 Les Mikesell wrote:Anne Wilson wrote:It seems like a kludge to use cifs to share between two linux boxes.Because I would have to do samba anyway, as windows laptops from other family members want to access from time to time.

In particular, one directory that I samba share is a repository that my daughter and I both need access to, and its content changes fairly often. I didn't want to have to run two systems for sharing.You can do both fairly easily and transparently. The usual reason for not using NFS is that it isn't secure if client users have local root access (or can boot something that would) - but that probably doesn't matter for a home setup.I guess that when I've nothing more urgent to do I ought to read up on NFS.
