NFS Unmasked: Versions, Gotchas, and Hard Truths
from My Weird Prompts
NFS is the default answer for Linux-to-Linux file sharing, but most sysadmins don't know which version they're running or what's silently going wrong. This episode pulls back the curtain on NFS—from the radically different protocol versions (v2 through v4.3) to the gotchas that ruin weekends: stale file handles, silent lock failures, hard vs. soft mount tradeoffs, and why WiFi is a disaster. If you've ever mounted a remote directory and wondered what could go wrong, this is the episode for you. Episode #138696 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/138696
