')- Mounted in Windows NFS root share has wrong much smaller size, despite dh -hT shows correct size in Arch, and nfsstat shows NFS4 exports type 2 and 3 shares supported by Win Client for NFS3. Can't copy large files to its shared FSs. Any ideas?
- Files copy speed is a bit less compare to Samba and similarly depends on the share FS type.
- Exported shares aren't auto scanned into Network Neighborhood and remembered there like Samba shares. Need to manually enter share address each time they're re-exported or device restarted, unless you map them to drives or run mount script at boot. Any workaround?

- Don't mount /mnt, mount the shares directly.
- No idea there, strange that it is slower.
- Mapping share to drive is the "normal" way on Windows!

1. Thanks, that helped. Before I was mounting /mnt 1st, then each share to a drive letter, but they ALL have the same size as the thumb partition where /mnt was located.
Will update the Mini Guide.2. Didn't try yet with XFS / EXT4. With NTFS Samba delivered 6.5MB/sec versus NFS 5.5MB/sec. Due to slow USB 2.0 had to reformat back XFS media drive to NTFS and hook it to both Dockstar and PC via USB Sharing Hub. Copy to NTFS in Windows is 35MB/s, to XFS via Samba 30MB/sec in Arch, but Dockstar lengthy proc load at 80% while copying large files, and lack of active cooling made me shift the task back to PC proc.
3. Yes, but...not like that. Remember, drives disappear in Windows when dismounted? Not NFS or Samba shares though. Just the other day was mail_listing with Samba guys about it. They say, due to a number of Linux varieties Samba supports, they have a hard time finding any common notifier that a drive was dismounted or switched off to hook to the "share available" control which is always on.
