Yes, I do that today. Though for iTunes use it's a good idea to put a delay in the auto start of iTunes to make sure the share is completely ready. What I meant about reliable, and didn't explain very well, is that iTunes over NAS seems to be slow and klunky according to what I've read on the net. Ripping and importing a CD, for example, can take FOREVER. And syncing content to say an iPhone from iTunes running off a NAS can be verrrrrry slow too. So I was curious how the OP got around this or if he even saw any of it.

Thanks!

Curious, just how do you use NAS to feed an iTunes library? I haven't figured out how to elegantly and reliably do this. I've considered using an AFP share and a symbolic link from the local drive to point to the AFP share, but that doesn't seem totally reliable across reboots. I've also considered setting up an iSCSI initiator on the Mini and then mount iSCSI volumes from a NAS server but that also doesn't seem terribly reliable. This has to be reliable enough that when I'm traveling my wife has no problem getting to videos for the 3 year old :-). Please share your setup. Thanks!
