Thanx for the background Ben.
I'm gonna stick with sshfs for now. If I need more performance I'll go the NFS
route I suppose.
Other advantages of sshfs are you can mount as user with no root interaction
needed and it's simple. Simple and secure is good ;-)
Hack on.

NFS is going to beat SSHFS in performance.
For security, you'll need a either a secured network (VPN/IPSec) to do
a simple NFS setup (that would be using AUTH_SYS security which is
basically a trust model so listeners on the wire can intercept and
muck w/ things). Alternatively, NFSv4 can run with a security mode of
AUTH_GSS and one of krb5 (authentication), krb5i (auth + integrity),
or krb5p (auth + privacy). The latter option would use a GSS layer to
secure NFS traffic, however you need a working Kerberos setup on both
machines for this. For non-enterprise work, that can be a little
much, but it is doable and works well.
Just to add one final thing - NFS development continues today. It
seems old because it's been around forever, but it continues to make
progress, add features, and improve.

I know there used to be issues with nfs security, but maybe those
have been solved in the more recent versions.
How much slower is sshfs?
Thanx.

NFSv4 is pretty modern. It's not your grandpa's NFS.

Anthony,
I'm playing with sshfs. Anybody got comparisons for sshfs vs nfs?
And I second the "something more modern than nfs"?
Cheers.

Just to anticipate some answers:
* I know I could export the file system via nfs, and run ssh
cpu-machine racket, but can it be done without exporting the
filesystem?
And while we are on the topic, is there something more modern
than nfs?
