Nope, not except for databases.

This used to be an issue, but many databases these days are certified to
work with modern NAS solutions (NetApp and EMC stuff for example). I
thought even Oracle allowed this, although I'm not sure about that.

To bring it a little closer to home and talk about SCM tools (and things
I _do_ know about :)), ClearCase also uses a database (Raima, heavily
hacked...) in its back-end, but it will properly work with NFS-mounted
storage from both NetApp and EMC fileservers (and maybe others). This
is a valid configuration supported by Rational.
