[UniMacTech] Final Cut Studio Content via NFS Share

[Mark Szota]

Hi folks,

Based on Apple's KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2909

I am assuming it would be possible to store this content on a server and 
then make that accessible to desktops via NFS, and have the share(s) 
mount inline with the original paths as created by the Final Cut 
installers?  This would save duplicating a lot of data and reduce the 
size of our student lab SOE considerably, although a server/network 
failure may or may not cause problems with running the Final Cut apps.

Has anyone tried this or is already adopting a similar approach? We only 
20 Final Cut licenses so it would not be serving a large number of 
users, and it would be unlikely that all 20 desktops would be running 
the FC suite simultaneously. I'm confident our server is well equipped 
to handle the load that would be placed on it.

Cheers
Mark
