But I don't really access it via NFS. Basically, I stopped sharing my home directory via NFS years ago, replacing it with a VCS with a remote repository. So other than collections of large files (typically multimedia), the increase in disk sizes has made NFS-sharing much less important for me. OTOH, if you know of a good file-system that can provide a model half-way between NFS and "VCS + remote repository", so that I get the best of both worlds (i.e. the transparent synchronization of NFS, along with the reliability and disconnected operation of VCS), I'd love to know about it.
