I have to agree with the others. So if you don't have a special, highly integrated and proven technology at hand (which is then unknown to the rest of the list), don't use NFS. It will be slow. It will be unreliable. It will break. It will cause you a lot of headaches. Instead share direct disk access via some SAN solution but beware of simul- taneus DB operations. Better split your userbase with some naming scheme and store locally on your farm, thus striping incoming requests with SMTP and POP/IMAP multiplexers like, e.g. http://www.vergenet.net/linux/perdition/.
