Note that that email is more than 5 years old. A lot has happened in
the linux kernel since then.
It's perfectly possible to run PostgreSQL reliable on NFS. But it's
quite hard to set all the parameters correct to get both decent
performance and some sort of reliability. And it's very easy to get it
wrong, and end up with data corruption. If you don't know exactly what
to do there, I would definitely advice you not to try it.
