I use NFS for filesharing between all wired systems at home. |
| 32 |
Samba is only used for MS Windows and laptops. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Few things I always make sure are valid: |
| 35 |
- One partition per NFS share |
| 36 |
- No NFS share is mounted below another one |
| 37 |
- I set the version to 3 on the clients |
| 38 |
- I use LDAP for the user accounts to ensure the UIDs and GIDs are consistent. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
NFS4 requires all the exports to be under a single foldertree. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
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. |
| 43 |
/etc/portage is symlinked to a NFS share as well, allowing me to create binary packages on a single host (inside a chroot) which are then used to update the different machines. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
If anyone wants a more detailed description of my setup. Let me know and I will try to write something up. |
| 46 |

Kind regards |
