I just burned a series of CDs using images mounted on NFS. I had really
questioned doing this, since the machines are not dedicated, the packets
go through many routers, etc, but it worked.
I note this because there was some discussion of things like this some
time ago. I measured the worst case observed performance by doing a
series of 5MB reads at 20 sec intervals. The worst observed case was
~5.5x data rate, so I burned at 4x (speed=4) and it worked fine.
While I don't recommend this practice, it is sometimes useful, and
faster than pulling a copy of each image to the machine with the burner.
