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.
Cheers,
Juergen, the NFS lover

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.
