I've been experimenting and I'm beginning to move forward, so thanks for
the advice. One important question though:
I ran a speed test by transferring a 366MB file with "time cp ?" in the
Terminal from the local Mac over a gigabit LAN to the Linux server using
NFSv3, and got an astonishingly poor 12MB/s transfer speed. Is that all I
can expect, or is NFSv3 capable of better? The hardware infrastructure
involved demonstrably supports much faster speeds.
