Installing DS 3.0 server in a NFS directory

Sorry if this is a FAQ or documented somewhere. I installed the DS 3.0 server successfully on a local hard drive on a 64-bit Linux system. On another system I ran into a few problems trying to install the server into a NFS-mounted directory. I seem to remember that a much earlier version of the DS server did not support being installed on NFS at all. Is this still the case with 3.0 or should running the server in a NFS directory work?
