If you use NFS, and are not absolutely certain of the semantics of the
implementation, then you are accepting the risk that in case of a
crash (for nearly any reason), your database may wind up destroyed.
Let me say that more directly:
The kind of problem you may meet is that your database may be
destroyed.
Few people have sufficient confidence in the semantics of their NFS
implementations, and the use of NFS is generally not recommended, as a
consequence.
