Caleb,
I agree with Nicholas and Daniel. With experience in both SAMBA and NFS
in a mixed OS corporate environment, I can tell you that Linux to Linux
_should_ be NFS. Linux to Linux via SAMBA benchmarks horribly. There's
a lot of overhead crap that isn't needed between to *nix boxes.
Although there is a user space NFS server, the common and fastest way
is built into the linux kernel.
Here's the NFS HowTo
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/
Basically, all you really need is an /etc/exports (very very simple
syntax) file and then you can start the nfsd daemon and mount it from
the other end. I usually use the rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp options when
mounting. Seems to bench better with netperf. The only thing to watch
for is that the permissions are set by the files on the server (unless
you do an all_squash,anon_uid option or something) not your mount
options.
