Very different. NFS is, well NFS. Samba is SMB.
I'll default to NFS any time I can but there are some set up things with UID
and GID to consider when using it.

Not quite. The SAMBA on the IBM i consumes the Windows share (which can
have long names) and then the IBM i instance can get them from there.
For me it's got too many moving parts and is complicated to set up, not to
mention the security issues that QNTC/NetServer both are much better at.

So instead of using the usual windows process of creating long share
names,
I use Samba on Windows to create long share names.
Do I still use QNTC to consume them or something else?
