The biggest problem with BerkeleyDB is that it REQUIRES that the file system support memory mapping the files. This means that you cannot guarantee correctness if these files are located on an NFS mount.
True enough. That's a known issue with BerkeleyDB.
But why would you be putting any of this stuff on NFS anyway? And how would you deal with all the file locking issues? And cross-platform issues? I've been doing NFS for a very long time, and I have yet to see a mail-related environment where NFS is a good choice or works well. Given the sorts of things we're talking about doing, I can't imagine that NFS could possibly be a good solution.
