Hi,

I’m playing around with a VPS and have successfully connected a NFS share of my local NAS via OpenVPN. At Home I don’t have a connection with a static IP address so once per night the the VPN needs to reconnect, this take about 2 minutes. Is it possible to buffer the NFS mount, so it doesn’t produce any read / write errors? I read about NFS caching, but I think this is only meant for periods way smaller than a Minute. Does any one of you got experience with such a setup?

I don’t think that is a good idea. NFS is more designed for LAN than for WAN.

What would be a good alternative? SSHFS?
