True that. But what else is there? At least in this particular case I'm for= ced to choose between Samba, FTP, SFTP and WebDAV. This is all I'm given. The kernel has no SSHFS (judging by how the protocol works, performance probably wouldn't be too great either) and last I checked davfs was awfully slow. Le= t's not even talk about FTP. This leaves me with smbfs as my only choice. Fun fact: The cloud storage provider in question was (as far as I remember) actually running FreeBSD on their storage servers as of ~2 years ago and probably still is today. The handful of times I tried to play around with NFS (a few years ago) I got disappointing performance even on loopback/tap links (bhyve VM), especially considering how complicated it is to work with. Right now I'm just not confident that I could properly secure an NFS server. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
