Please note that until you've tested what happens when you pull the
power plugs on the NAS server midday to simulate a motherboard / PS /
UPS failure you don't really know how well this setup will survive
when things go wrong. The worst time to find out your pgsql -> NAS
setup can't handle sudden power loss etc is when the lights just went
out.
