[OpenIndiana-discuss] SMB NFS not sure where to go

[Michelle]

I think I recall... there's something I do which can't be done in NFS.

I mount a share in read only, and then when I want to write to an area
I unmount it and re-mount it as a different user... and when I'm done
writing to it, then I unmount it and re-mount it as read only again...
to prevent accidental deletions, etc.

I don't think I could do that in NFS.
