Dvc.org: how to: use NFS as a DVC remote

[efiop]

I.e. mount it to some dir and specify it as a local dir repository for dvc.

I have generalized this as "Mounted DVC Storage", which includes not only NFS, but also SSHFS, Samba, or any other data storage that can be network-mounted on a local directory.

I have also built an interactive example that explains how to do it for SSHFS (since this is easier to set up for an interactive example): https://katacoda.com/dvc/courses/examples/mounted-storage

@efiop did you mean in https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/remote/add though? Or somewhere else.

@jorgeorpinel I guess a note there would also be pretty nice as a way of using any storage that you can mount to your local fs.

OK. So while #784 greatly simplifies this issue, it won't completely solve it. I'm updating the PR's description to remove the link. Or if you prefer to also add the note Ruslan suggests Dashamir, please reestablish the link to close this issue automatically from your PR. 🙂
