Hi, we use only local storage at Linagora. But we do some clients installations over SAN using iSCSI or FC. This technologies are well supported by Linux and Cyrus. In fact, usually Cyrus use Berkeley DB - you can change this at compilation time. And Berkeley DB don't like NFS because of lock which are not supported over NFS. If you compile Cyrus using only flat or skiplist DB, it may work good over NFS, but this kind of database are slowly on big installations. Cyrus database kind is a recurrent theme on Cyrus mailing lists. For now, if you plan to use Cyrus on RH or Debian, without recompilation, it use berkeley DB, so we ban NFS. Another thing is that NFS is slowly than iSCSI or FC...
