Be more respectful. It broke my workflow which is having my $HOME on NFS which is also nuked with the stupid Dropbox change.

Add it to the already long list of software that misbehaves over NFS.

Ceph/RBD with the filesystem of your choice that supports xattrs is pretty much the only way to get full application compatibility.

NFS is widely supported and has great performance. I'm open for alternatives, but only if supported by FreeNAS where my files live.

Why don't I just keep my data in a database then?

That's essentially what Ceph does. It's just implementing a filesystem interface on top of a generic object store.
