NGINX serving data via NFS mount

[Steve Holdoway]

It makes no difference what file system the file is on. You just need to 
ensure that the files are accessible, so take care with uid/gid used to 
mount, as well as file ownership. Standard entries in /etc/exports work 
from what I remember.

You will have a performance hit to contend with. I usually use lsync 
with a backup of rsync and keep the files local.
