Good point. Perhaps that depends on the NFS client and server combination also? I know that Netapp worked with Oracle and both companies guarantee and recommend a Sun/Netapp Oracle over NFS solution (which I have setup in a previous life) and such a solution works very well. Nobody is going to make such a guarantee with postgresql (are they?) so consider us a case study for such a setup. So far, so good, even under heavy load testing. If anybody has any horror stories with postgresql over NFS, please share them.
