There's are already enaugh articles on the web about NFS problems related locking, latency, etc.... Eh stacking a protocol onto another to fix problem and then maybe one more to glue them together. Google for the suse PDF " why NFS sucks", I don't agree with the whole sheet.. NFS got his place,too. But not as production filer for VM.

better go for iscsi or something else... i whould avoid nfs for vm hosting Freebsd10 delivers kernel iscsitarget now, which works great so far. or go with omnios to get comstar iscsi, which is a rocksolid solution

That is usually a matter of taste and the available environment. The minimal differences in performance usually only show up if you drive the storage to its limits. I guess you could help Sven better if you had some hard facts why to favour ISCSI.
Best regards.
