network file system to use

Two thinks happened at the same time. I had again problems with my Samba/SMB setup and found and old article about OpenAFS.

AFS still sounds good but most of the advantages are not important on a home network. Also all the good features are now part of NFSv4. As it is still not widely used it probably is more difficult to find a already existing solution on the net. This is also true for all the other protocols found on wikipedia.

Therefore it still comes down to SMB or NFS for me. As the new file server I build will use ZFS and run on OpenSolaris NFS might be the way to go. At least I will give it a try and see if I have less problems or run into other disadvantages compared to my use of SMB.
