I'm curious what others here on the list might use for sharing file
systems over a local area network. I'm mainly talking about going
between different Linux boxes. Obviously, I use Samba for connecting my
Linux clients to Windows machines. But I wonder about the merit of
using Samba to share between Linux boxes or if I should use NFS instead.
Curious minds want to know:).

I use NFS over my LAN, and in my specific case over my VPN as well to stream music/copy files. It works quite well.

* Re: Network File Systems ` Gregory Nowak @ ` Steve Holmes ` Chris Norman 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Steve Holmes @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Yeah, in some ways, I find Samba easier to set up too. My only complaint right now is all the files I copy onto a Samba share end up with the execute bit set on. That plays havic with mplayer when I wanna play sound files. Actually, it's mc that has trouble with the execute bit on sound files. When I use mc to browse a directory, I have it set up to where I can hit the enter key on a file and mplayer plays it; if execut bit is on, that doesn't work for some reason. Anyway, that's just one of the pit-falls of using SMB to share files. I might be able to find a way around this problem though.

Is that because it is trying to execute it? Linux has no extentions depicting the file as a program. > Anyway, that's > just one of the pit-falls of using SMB to share files.
