Feb 16, 2014 10:24 AM in response to sqreyesby léonie,That is for Apple to say. We have no official knowledge on future releases. This is still the recommendation for Aperture libraries:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
The MacOS X Extended (Journaled) filesystem is important to resolve the references and filenames correctly, and the local connection to avoid transmission errors that could break database transactions and cause inconsistencies in the internal databases.
If you want to try a network volume, don't do it without a very rigid backup scheme in place. I would not risk it.

Feb 16, 2014 11:35 AM in response to sqreyesby SierraDragon,What Léonie said. Do not risk it. It may work on some specific NAS setup - - until it doesn't.
Aperture needs but lacks:
1) Most important: the ability to single-user synch one Library between two Macs.
Note that item 1 has been being requested since v1 and should exist within basic Aperture. The lack of synch capability is a very serious flaw in basic Aperture.
2) Less important but still needed: multi-user and NAS capability.
Item 2 would be basically a new more expensive expansion of Aperture. Most users do need item 1 but only a subset need (expensive) item 2. Two recommended multi-user solutions are Canto Cumulus and Extensis Portfolio.
