You don't need static libraries on your system; if a program is using
code from a static library, it's copied into that binary. The advantage
of shared libraries is that all running programs can use the same
(external to the program) copy of a shared library, reducing disk and
RAM usage.

The two are entirely different things: aufs is a union-style filesystem;
NFS is used for sharing files across a network.
