Does anybody use a NFS to host Confluence Attachments?

Matt Uebel June 11, 2013

I am in the beggining stages of a Confluence implementation, and we would like to use a NFS to host the attachments. Does anybody currently use this method? If so, what pitfalls have you encountered. Otherwise, what mechanism do you use for attachment storage? It seems to be a big consideration in general.

Don't use NFS, that's for sure.

Additionally, you may want to look at: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-9335 (still unresolved)

The official page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Attachment+Storage+Configuration

My personal experience (which is limited) is that NFS can add performance pain.
