Hi, I am looking for a "slimmer" NFS when I have a file server with a lkot of space - while clients with not much. I would like to export parts of the server file systems but do not need to share them between the clients. So I don't need all the overhead of leases that expire, server-side locking etc. Instead it would be good enough to do locking on the client side and write a journal which can be send to the file server. The file server needs to provide read access to files and be able to write what's given to it from the client. UIDs etc. could be send through, the permission check would happen at the client side. I guess that's all needed and would be faster and less complex than NFS. Does this kind of network file system exist? Any other ideas for very fast access on file system level over the net welcome.
