Surely that's an exaggeration.
OK, it is a slight exaggeration, but unless you really know what you are
doing you just should stay away from it. I think the real issue is taht
while NFS works great for common file sharing and stuff and you really
don't have to know much about it that is just not the case if you are
trying to setup a database over it.
I think it is a case of "Buyer be ware!" or you might loose your data.

"Oracle uses NFS to run its applications on tens of thousands
of Linux servers accessing many petabytes of NetApp storage.
In 2005 they had 12,000 Linux servers and 3 petabytes of NetApp
storage. Today’s numbers aren’t public, but they are much larger."
But yeah, it is tricky:
