I make heavy use of NFS using the flock function and have had no issues or
corruptions with it. The only real issue with NFS in general is a higher
load.
One particular program I use has 36 modules to it constantly locking and
unlocking files. It runs pretty effecient with a lock timeout of two
minutes.
