According to sleepycat, it won't work on NFS because most NFS server
implementations don't support POSIX locking correctly.

That said, some folks (in IRC) have reported that the latest NetApp
NFS appliances *do* support POSIX locking, and that the company
actively claims to support BerkeleyDB. So don't despair. :-)
