Hi Bill,

Late response here, going through my Inbox for the new year.

There's no issue with not using NFS as long as you can get the
data from each host running orcallator.se to the main Orca host.
NFS is only used for moving the data from the orcallator.se hosts
to the Orca hosts, so if can do that without NFS, then there's
no issue for you.

Happy New Year!
Blair
