You must ensure that file locking workes on the shared volume. This has
historically been problematic with NFS, hence the rather complicated
locking protocols used by the appendfile transport. However some people
(for example, demon.nl) have successfully used spools shared via NFS.
You should learn about the localhost_number option.
