Its not recommended if you have a crap NFS implementation. I think it
was about 10 years ago I ran Oracle under Solaris with a Netapp for
storage. Rock solid, supported configuration, and actually
outperformed using local disk. Hopefully the open source NFS clients
have caught up by now - if you see problem reports or recommendations,
pay attention to the platform and implementation rather than the
protocol.
