[ale] Mounting /home and /data with cifs on a server?

[Robert L. Harris]

   Has anyone mounted /home or /data (random dir containing user data) 
from a CIFS
mount instead of NFS?  I'm looking at some performance issues with a NAS 
server
and it appears CIFS is more repsonsive.  The only problem is if I mount 
/home
with:

//lincoln/home          /home   cifs    
credentials=/root/samba-creds.txt,workgroup=foobar      0       0

and use the creds of root to mount the dirs, then any files I create as 
user "robert" end
up created owned by user root on the server, and thus user root on the 
clients hosing
up /home, etc.

Thoughts?
