Veering slightly off topic now but how reliable/secure is NFS these
days? I stopped using it years ago as I got tired of the problems I used
to have with it (probably my own fault). Is there a decent, lightweight
distributed filesystem that's stable on FreeBSD? My main criteria are:
1. Lightweight - small and simple is best.
2. Cryptographically secure - we are very strict about cleartext
protocols over the network here.
I have seen Coda in ports but it labels itself as 'experimental' and I'm
not really up for debugging my filesystem...
