On the other hand, NFS is a fully-featured filesystem that supports fancy features like locking and a full ACL system. SSHFS is a FUSE filesystem that will break a lot of software if you try to use it for anything more complex than 'ls' and 'cp'. For what it's worth, Samba with SMBv3 and the POSIX extension[1] is a lot more tolerant of bad connections, and presents itself as a real filesystem under linux. 1. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SMB3-Linux -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
