Hi,

We are planning to use it in my job.We are planning to use it first as a file server (mean personal user files) and maybe later on we will use it as external storage of a server which saves the raw data there before process them.
Yes we are planning to have also Windows clients.
So basically we need FTP and NFS or SMB.

nfsd

rpc.nfsd(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       rpc.nfsd(8)

NAME

       rpc.nfsd - NFS server process

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port] nproc

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpc.nfsd program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The main functionality is handled by the nfsd.o kernel module; the
       user space program merely starts the specified number of kernel threads.

       The rpc.mountd server provides an ancially service needed to satisfy mount requests by NFS clients.

OPTIONS

       -p port
	      specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default, rpc.nfsd will listen on port 2049.

       nproc  specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, just one thread is started. However, for optimum performance  several  threads
	      should be used. The actual figure depends on the number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a useful starting point
	      is 8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked using the nfsstat(8) program.

SEE ALSO

       rpc.mountd(8), exportfs(8), rpc.rquotad(8), nfsstat(8).
