I have tried shfs ( a kernel module allowing the reomote mount of |
| 2 |
filesystems over ssh) in the past but over less than perfect connections |
| 3 |
had file system corruption. |

Lately I am using WebDav (via davfs or cadaver), both running on my own |
| 6 |
server, and mounting other systems I have access to onto my laptop as I |
| 7 |
move around with good success. Gentoo's implementation of davfs is |
| 8 |
clunky and problematic to manage (interfacing with fstab, having to kill |
| 9 |
a process after unmounting), but it works reliably. |
