Unless you need all of the power of the full CentOS distro (with the configuration overhead that goes with this), you might consider a dedicated storage server distro such as OpenFiler:
OpenFiler hosts their web site on CentOS. :)
We are only in the testing phase, but we have been using OpenFiler as an iSCSI target and it is working like a champ.

Yes, OpenFiler is what i had i mind but i am not sure if I should use dedicated storage server distro like OpenFiler or a classic distro with NFS configured afterwards. I think I will stick to Centos 4 because I don´ t know for sure what services will need to run on that machine.

OpenFiler is de facto CentOS 4 with added NAS management packages ...
You should try you will see.

That's not quite true anymore, openfiler moved to the rpath "linux meta distribution" and isn't based on CentOS 4 anymore.
Cheers,
