1) The caveats of NFS can be crippling if you are a rubbish sysadmin. NFS requires a more thorough understanding than what you can get from a tip sheet.

2) Samba is single threaded, performance will suffer serving SMB from a Linux machine. For this reason it would be better to serve SMB from a Windows machine.

3) Using a foreign protocol between homogenous computers when the native protocol will do is non-ideal. NFS is the right thing when sharing filesystems from Linux to Linux.
