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.

Have you considered iSCSI or one of the other NBD options? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
