Hi everyone !

Right now I can’t decide wich one is the most versatile and fit my personal needs, so I’m looking into your personal experience with each one of them, if you mind sharing your experience.

It’s mostly for secure shared volumes containing ebooks and media storage/files on my home network. Adding some security into the mix even tough I actually don’t need it (mostly for learning process).

More precisely how difficult is the NFS configuration with kerberos? Is it actually useful? Never used kerberos and have no idea how it works, so it’s a very much new tech on my side.

I would really apreciate some indepth personal experience and why you would considere one over another !

Thank you !

    You can literally specify it in your fstab to mount the network share at boot.

    Uh, the same is possible with any other file system, too.

    //nas/share    /mnt/whatever    smb3    defaults,auto,username=bob,password=xxx    0   0

        I’ve never noticed any issues or long delays. My Raspberrys come up either way. Might take a bit longer if the NAS isn’t accessible - but they still come up. Only without the mounted shares, of course.

        As an alternative, you could do the same using systemd.

      //nas/share. /mnt/smbshared cifs defaults,auto,ver=3,credentials=/some/safe/location 0 0

      +2 systemd-network dontknowyet entries (still for fstab Mount options)

      Another way ist working with systemd/systemctl and create .mount .automount units
