I have got the advice not to use NFS from a number of people who should know, but there are also knowledgable people who use PostgreSQL with NFS. You need hard foreground mounts, and you need an NFS server that is guaranteed not to lose data that the client has synced to disk. You should probably only consider storage systems that directly support NFS, and you should run performance and reliability tests.
