How is the security settings on the shares now? |

I had issues when accessing through NFS and CIFS simultaneously where files written over NFS had to have the permissions altered before they were accessible over CIFS. |

|

Other issue I had was inability to have users only being able to access files they were allowed to. With CIFS it sort of worked. But with NFS I had full access to all files. |

That is the reason why I setup my NAS manually using Gentoo. |
