The more salient question is whether we can identify such things (NFS) in the report, so, say, something like Andreas' analysis sites could clearly show the problem is NFS.
In a perfect world, CPAN distributions would be able to opt out of supporting NFS as cleanly as they can with operating systems. :P
It would be nice to have something like $OSNAME for filesystem type discovery... Beef up Sys::Filesystem and put it in the core? Or at least encourage its use where helpful...
One can use different filesystems for different files. NFS is usually used in home directories, and that's where people keep smokers. "Enterprise level Perl installations" will not use NFS, I believe. -- S.T.
