Subject:   Vinum over NFS?

Hi, 
We need to set up an NFS fileserver which will serve around 10-20 machines.
The hardware would preferably be Intel, for cost reasons, though
fairly high-end (say a Pentium III 550+ MHz, 256 MB RAM, SCSI disks).
The expected exported volume would be perhaps 50-60 GB.
Is it a good idea to export a vinum volume over NFS?  How reliable is
FreeBSD's NFS for this kind of situation -- I've heard that both
FreeBSD and Linux have some way to go to catch up with commercial
unixen in NFS?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Rahul.
