Whether the thing is trustworthy is a different issue ;-).  I was just
surprised that it didn't seem to work at all.

In practice, if the NFS server never goes down then you probably haven't
got a problem.  I'm not sure you could count on the database not getting
scrambled if the NFS server crashes.  But that wasn't the question...
