You might try searching the Lucene users list for NFS. I know there has been frequent discussion of locking issues etc. But since I'm not using an NFS mount, I just glossed over them.
Also, my recollection is that many (most? all?) of the underlying issues have been dealt with with new versions of Lucene, but again I didn't track that too closely. Unless my memory fails completely, though, I *am* pretty sure that any remote storage will incur a performance hit over local storage.....
