The thing I think I'm looking forward to the most is NFSv4 support,
which I believe was just recently being rolled into the 2.5 series.
NFSv3 is insecure.  AFS has the requisite features to be considered a
viable secure distributed filesystem, but has never really caught on.  I
hat to say it, but SMB, for all of its flaws, remains a legitimate
contender.

How do you set up a cluster of Linux workstations to have secure access
to a shared filesystem?  It's a bitch.
