-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The environment that this senerio would be most likly to be used in would not be using a Linux box for the NFS server, instead it would be using something like a Network appliance (or their higher end competitor, Auspecs or domwthing like that). These boxes run their own OS, have their own filesystem and are heavily tuned (raid for disks, large amounts of static ram to buffer writes to, etc). They are also not cheap, the one I am using at my web farm here runs ~$60,000. not having the ability to use any capabilities for files residing on this system would be a drawback.
