Agreed. Besides, we already know NFS can do that (with caveats). I wonder whether people read the other postings in the threads they reply to :) And, as someone pointed out, ganesha NFS (a user-space server) seems to explicitly allow that. Available as a Debian package (of course, the NAS will be running something and not letting the user change it, violating lots of free software licenses in the process, but people keep paying for that, so...)
