What I do in this situation is dual-mount the volumes using both Samba and NFS. The systems that work better with SMB (e.g. Windows) can then use Samba, while the system that work better with NFS (OpenBSD) can use that. Of course for this to work your servers need to be able to support both NFS and Samba. I use OpenBSD as a file server and it can do this without any difficulty. -ken
