Apparently, though unproven, at 12:44 on Friday 03 June 2011, Stéphane Guedon |

> anyone use autofs to manage mounting of nfs on a laptop ? |
| 5 |
|

Is this mounting a share from an nfs server onto a laptop? |
| 7 |
|

> Is it fluent, |
| 9 |
> easy to use ? |

It's NFS. The words "nfs" and "fluent, easy to use" do not belong in the same |
| 12 |
sentence unless there's a "not" in the middle. |

|
| 14 |
The point is that NFS was not designed with laptops and other devices that can |
| 15 |
be disconnected in mind. It was designed for secure LANs that do not change |
| 16 |
much, and laptops present issues that are not easy to solve. |

> How many shares maximum ? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
From a server? Hundreds, with ease. NFS is not the bottleneck, your shares are |
| 22 |
limited by how much bandwidth you have over the network. |
