I think I recall... there's something I do which can't be done in NFS. I mount a share in read only, and then when I want to write to an area I unmount it and re-mount it as a different user... and when I'm done writing to it, then I unmount it and re-mount it as read only again... to prevent accidental deletions, etc.
I don't think I could do that in NFS. On Sun, 2023-09-24 at 21:27 +0200, Goetz T.
