All the filesystem code is on the client; the server only handles requests

me when it's safely on disk".
Fair enough.
The point being, NBD / AoE / iSCSI are SAN technologies and not
conducive for multiple clients to access at the same time (without a
clustered file system). Unlike NFS which is safe for multiple clients
to access at the same time. So, having multiple distributed build
machines sort of necessitates NFS (or a clustered file system).
