| What are ALL the protocol options for file serving?
The obvious ones are:
NFS
CIFS
AFP
AFS
Does anyone have any others that I'm not thinking of? I know some
cluster vendors have their own client/protocol (Ibrix, Isilon) but
they only work on Linux. I need something that will work across
platforms.
Thanks.

Don't forget NCP (Netware). There were also a bunch of (now mostly
obsolete) protocols used by various server vendors.

I should have been more specific. I'm interested in protocol options
that could be used today.
I'm looking to put in place a file serving solution but NFS may not be
enough due to ACL's. And v4 is still a ways off...

Depends on what kind of file serving you are thinking about doing but
if you want a complete list I'd add:
FTP and HTTP
HVB
A person, not a protocol ;)

For now it's just something more granular than NFS. AFS has great
ACL's but as a file system it's very slow.
CIFS/NTFS has decent ACL's but making a bunch of unix hosts run CIFS
may be difficult in this environment.
