NFS mount vs 'Local' External Storage (app)

You can use an NFC share as the data dir mounted prior to installation or moved to it later via:

But it’s better you don’t mount shares within the data dir:

  1. Because www-data would need to own the whole share
  2. Because should you have any issues with it unmounting and remounting you could face corruption
  3. Because the external storage app was made for this reason
  4. Because mounting it as a folder in data will mean you shouldn’t use the share with other clients. Again due to corruption possibilities.
