Would you mind sharing what you've tried out so far?

I use XFS191 on my 286 to read & write to NFS shares I have hosted on a linux VM and that works pretty well but it does need some setup.

1 - You need to enable NFS V2 protocol support on your server. How you do this if this is even possible, depends on you linux distro. NFS V2 support has been removed/disabled from many distros dues to security concerns.

2 - XFS does horrid things to long file names. The only way I have found around this to ensure your filenames are lowercase in 8.3 format linux side.
