I have a linux box and I need to exchange files between my windows and linux. I found there are 2 different ways to mount the linux file system onto windows. They are NFS & Samba. Anyone know the performance comparison?
NFS can be tricky because it requires the UIDs all be in sync since each mount is system-wide and authorization is done locally instead of on the server. With Windows this means you have to map unix UIDs to Windows accounts and I don't know how well that works now, I just remember trying it a few years ago and it was a huge PITA that never worked right.
