[Dovecot] NFS vs CIFS - and Dovecot

[Daniel L. Miller]

I've seen a number of posts discussing NFS based storage and issues with 
Dovecot.  When the term "NFS" is used - does this exclusively refer to 
the Linux NFS network file system, or is it a generic reference to any 
network file system?  I don't recall seeing any posts referencing issues 
with CIFS or SMBFS - is this because no one is using it, or because it 
just works instead of fiddling with NFS?
