Remote access is nice and a must for many scenarios but just imagine
accessing your 10TB at 2MB/s or worse *all the time*. That would be ... not
nice!
Of course, if the only thing needed to copy a big (e.g. 10G) file to another
user was to make a hard link (with copy on write) in a fraction of a
second, I would start warming up to a FS outside of my hands. All round
encryption would be a must, of course.
