Thanks for this.
You've helped convince me I need to keep a big cabinet with a row of
"huge" tower chassises in it to store all my map data instead of forking
out to get one of those wee little NASs and save a bit of space :)
using Linux on my computer and NFS for networking when I need to open
files on a different computer because the usual one is having some sort
of problem.

You'd only be "living with it" because you choose to use the wrong
tools for the work and refuse to use the right ones. In this case, I
see the "wrong tools" here as 1) network-shared files for common r/w
access 2) the SMB/CIFS protocol in general 3) appliance-type file
servers are trash. You can try to make things better by standing up a
proper Linux-based file server and using NFS instead of SMB/CIFS but
1) is enough of a problem that you'd only be throwing good work after
bad.
If it suits your use cases, you might try implementing something like
git - which is after a fashion just another networked file-sharing
protocol - and use check-out/check-in controls to make changes to
centrally-stored files but this means you'll be slinging entire copies
of your datasets down to client machines on the regular; that may not
work well for you.
The best answer is PostgreSQL/PostGIS and that's going to take some
time and effort. Cost of doing business.
