I've been running quite large carving and engraving g-code files directly off a NAS share for quite some time without many problems (before that it was on a Novel server, that was a little more problematic). The only problems were usually caused by major network glitches that often resulted in taking down the whole Linuxcnc client (but I can't say that has happened since switching to the NAS share).

I think that my Avast Antivirus is battling with Gmail's security certificates and I lost :-( . Do you run the Gcode file off the NAS server directly or do you copy the file to the local machine. I thought there was a problem doing that reliably with LinuxCNC. Something to do with network latency when reading the file which would cause LinuxCNC to fault.
