Do you really mean any filesystem or only any local filesystem?

I thought that nfs-filsystems should be a posix compatible filesystem. Or 
is nfs not posix compatible?

Last week I have learned on this mailing list, that it is not always a 
good idea to have samba shares on nfs-filesystems.
(Volker Lendecke even wrote on this list that this is not supported).

and the answers to these mails on this mailing list.

Sure, if we add 
| kernel oplocks = no
to the global part of our smb.conf file, sharing smb-shares on 
nfs-filesystems seems to work.
