Now the KVM guest is intriguing, I don't need a powerhouse fileserver here, just a few small files will be transferred regularly.
None of the User Space NFS servers out there would compile for me. I'm thinking I'll give the Gluster FS a try next, I guess, even being overkill, it'll be easier than configuring KVM under an LXC container. Great discussion, I appreciate all the ideas everyone!

AFAIK, he wants to have NFS _server_ in container.
