Did the VLM drop support for the LMFS? Too bad. NFS sucks so it couldn't

I forget when, but I remember benchmarking (I think) a 3670 which had
slower performance to its local disk than a 3/120 did accessing
storage over NFS. (Both disks were Fuji eagles, the NFS access was via
a 3/180 or /280 and thickwire).

Yup, NFS sucks all right.
