I am not expecting to accurately have an exact ext4 system on a share.
Just keeps the data, but deduplicated. AFAIK, Hetzner does not allow NFS
access to their very cost-effective storage boxes. And while it is very
simple to run a Fedora instance on the datacenter, the virtual machines
there have limited storage, and you provision storage by samba-mounting
a storage box.

It is a great system, but has its limitations.

I wish I could figure out how to provision the same features in AWS, but
I find the learning curve to steep for my old brain.
