My experience with NFS over the years has taught me to avoid it. Yes, it mostly works. And then every once a while you have a client that either panics or hangs. Despite the versions of Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows changing over the decades. The server end is usually a lot more stable. But that's of little to no comfort to know that yes, other clients are fine.

However, if you can tolerate client side failure then go for it.
