NFS's main disadvantage in comparison to SMB (a commonly-encountered protocol in Windows environments) is that it can be more complicated to set up in some cases, since many non-technical users are unfamiliar with configuring UNIX-based protocols.
NFS does not use usernames or passwords as logins it uses a UNIX-based "userID" (UID) alone. This part bears repeating, as many people are confused on this point and try to create usernames and passwords to get Kodi to work with NFS.
The main benefits of using NFS instead of SMB are its low protocol overhead (which allows it to send data across a network more quickly) and its use of simple UID's to authenticate users rather than username/password combinations. Network File System, or NFS, is a way to share folders over a network, and was added to XBMC in v11 (Eden).
