Well, we're not running PGSQL on a Netapp over NFS, but a DB2 Database.
But nevertheless, it runs quite well. NFS is not a bad choice for your
database, the big memory buffer that allocates the raid6 blocks makes it
all very quick, like you're working directly on a 1+ TB ramdisk.

NFS client caching doesn't lead to an irrecoverable database however)

would have direct attachments to the servers.
