I am in the exact same boat. Well the front end is RHEL7.1 and the backend Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
What I have done however is mount using glusterfs. No idea which is faster, currently I am testing local disk v nfs v gluster to get a feel on the performance penalty of gluster. NFS using UDP might well be a good idea though if in reality it is indeed more fault tolerant? Yes I need an operational guide as well, if nothing is about I am just going to have to write myself one.
