Searching for "NFS" on the manual web page

http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.8/Index.html

gives a few nuggets of info about Condor & NFS.

Also, searching for "NFS" in
http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.8/3_3Configuration.html
gives more relevant information.

However, I do not know of any _one_ place where all the condor+nfs
wisdom is written down.
