[Wolves] NFS server

[Simon Burke]

thanks for that, Im ust waiting for a new psu, cuz the machine i've
put it in only has a 70W PSU at the momment, but then im tempted to
get an extra disk for a couple of gig and use that for the os, as its
only duty is nfs so i should be bale to get it smaller.

As to what the storage is for, i may well play with oracle/DB2 again,
just to kill time.
