NFS improved a lot in the latest versions but still, in my opinion, the most important part is the right choice of the mounting options.

There is a old HOWTO of suse:
http://ftp.novell.com/partners/oracle/docs/9iR2-RAC_sles8_nfs.txt

and you can find several discussions on the suse-oracle mailing list about this topic.

I'm only used NFS for testing. I don't know how it can perform on production (or if it is certified).

For GFS:

but I have never tested it.
