In my opinion they are bloated because they are outmoded and ancient.  FUSE instantly rendered them obsolete.

So sine iSCSI is out my next avenue of investigation is clustering filesystems.  They should have the file-locking problem solved, and should perform better than sshfs, much less NFS or SAMBA.

As I say, sshfs.  Be officially turned on to FUSE and sshfs.  If you continue to decline, feel free to remain in the old-timey days grandpa.  (PS, I'm 55)

Very nice Bill, but I don't know the best way to go about these things.  This is why I keep asking for specifics.  Maybe if you pretend that I'm a dumb real estate developer...
