The page you cited is pretty old, and probably could use with revisiting.  But 
you're asking, here, "Okay, but can I use NAS now?"

I don't know.  Obviously, the technology gets better over time.  It might be 
tolerable.

I would not attempt it.  Cyrus assumes it's got a real filesystem, with the 
normal unix filesystem behaviors.  Clever simulations of those behaviors may or 
may not work.  More to the point, they might not work, we don't know whether 
they'd work, and if you said "They don't work", we would probably not do 
anything to make them work.
