But I am not conscious of another way to share data between several stations ? And I also have seen sites (e.g. my current sponsor/client) which run NFS for several hundred of very consuming users. Though their engineers are certainly better sysadmins than me :) Anyway, I have to wait until next week-end, back from travel, to try to better diagnose the problem. Any hints are welcome.
