There are a number of different reasons why using a storage volume
mounted over NFS for Bacula is likely to be a bad idea, beginning with
the difficulty of obtaining effective file locking and the likelihood of
poor throughput.  When possible, it's much better to run a storage
daemon local to the actual physical storage devices.
