I just got a new iMac with lion. Question for me is, after reading the guides on the various ways to share the files from the mac, is it correct to say if you use a nas drive, you won't have any issues with samba, the other question is if I used my USB drive is that when I would need one of the file sharing solutions??

Presumably it'll at least arrive in Samba 4 but I keep seeing statements saying 3.6.0 has full SMB2 support. Do any of the devs know what Samba version gets SMB2 support for libsmbclient? Also, it'd be useful to know what version XBMC on iOS is currently using.
As for other sharing options, hypothetically speaking of course, if the devs were to look at other methods of file sharing, do you think they'd be discussing anything other than AFP client support?
Davilla updated to the 3.6.0 library recently (from 3.5.something), but apparently they didn't add SMB 2 to the client library. It's server only. So it looks like we have to wait for Samba 4 for client support.
The only stuff I've heard/paid-attention-to is the AFP client talk.

Apple had to drop it because of licensing issues. So not the common "bad" ...
