bdb on nfs

http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/env/remote.html states that it is
possible to place bdb on a remote filesystem as long it is full posix
compliant.

and it states:
Some Linux releases are known to not support complete semantics for
the POSIX fsync call on NFS-mounted filesystems. No Berkeley DB files
should be placed on NFS-mounted filesystems on these systems.

therefor i'm wondering why there seems to be a common understanding,
that bdb does not work on nfs.

maybe somebody of you know, which systems do NOT work.
