Perhaps we have been in a rut with our petabyte of data entirely accessed 
over NFSv3, but looking at that web page I wonder if there isn't something 
obsolete about it - after all, the majority of the hardware mentioned in 
section 17.2 as being supported is IBM and SUN, and very little would be 
available for purchase today. I know it has an April 2020 data at the top, 
but still, it doesn't reflect our experience with Linux. All of our Linux 
systems have excellent support for NFS, and have for 30 years or more.

I wonder if the documentation is perhaps greatly removed from actual 
practice. It is about remote block storage, NFS is about remote file 
storage.

All our storage is FreeBSD, Freenas or Truenas. All our compute servers 
are Linux.
