Soon, I will be implementing a network where network-exported filesystems are a crucial component of functionality. Naturally, I looked to NFS as a solution, but I have heard of many people having problems with it (i'm basically worried about performance and security). Somebody told me about SFS (http://www.fs.net), and i thought, "hey, self certifying cryptographic network file system? cool!" But I'm not sure about the actual protocol. Taken from the SFS manual: "The SFS read-write server software requires each SFS server to run an NFS server." Is this SFS thing just an addon to NFS? huh? In the end, I'm quite confused. I'm just a guy looking for a good network exportable file system. I'm not that worried about cryptography, I'm more concerned with inherent problems in the protocols themselves. I'm sure that some of you have had some experience with this. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance.
