I've also thought about this, however I'm curious as to why others have not 
used NFS in this way for solving storage issue with containers?

The only thing I can think of is how do you make NFS HA and make it scale as 
performance becomes an issue.  You don't want to use a netapp etc.. Since that 
won't work on public cloud etc.... Ideally you want an NFS cluster which you 
can scale out to increase IO and disk capacity and also provide resiliency. 
However the fact that know one has mentioned this on any blog etc... I'm 
assuming there is a flaw somewhere or I am missing something obvious.
