Hello @magpern ,
Welcome to the forum!
The network filesystems (NFS, SMB, sshFS, etc.) are not supported and not recommended.
The only supported network protocol for storage is iSCSI.
Use the local attached drives (via SATA, SAS, etc.) where is possible.
See Topics tagged nfs, Topics tagged smb, Topics tagged sshfs
You can try to run the storagenode on your fileserver/NAS by the way. If it supports docker and have at least 1GB of RAM - you can run the storagenode directly on it.
The storagenode can be run even on router, see Running node on OpenWRT router?
