Title.

The situation is basically this:

• NFS works, it’s very fast, keeps the xattrs but if used without Kerberos it’s not secure. If used with Kerberos it works, but has a ticket that expires and forces me to reenter the credentials frequently in order to use it. If there was a way to use NFS with Kerberos and save the credentials NFS would be the perfect solution.

• Samba works fine too, also keeps the xattrs but I had some troubles with filenames (mainly with some special characters, emoji, etc). Besides, as both my server and my clients run Linux I prefer to avoid it if I have the choice.

• sshfs would be the natural choice, not as fast as NFS but it’s pretty secure, I already use it in most of my network shares but I just can’t find a way to make it preserve the files xattrs.

Do you guys have any suggestions or maybe any other options that I might use?
