If your aim is to provide HA or rapid failover, I'd say it's possible to use EFS - but I don't think it's supported. I'd be interested in your results.

For a single server, I don't see any particular reason why it wouldn't work. It'd be much the same as using NFS for your storage backend.

Note that due to file locking, some network-storage backends either wouldn't work or they'd work poorly. AWS' EFS does support file locking as far as I'm aware.

@zatricky actually, I need efs for many reasons.. one is that mailinabox fills my EBS volumes much faster. so if due to that I have to monitor the EBS volumes utilize by mailinabox server. and I am also running multiple servers for emails. so it's hard for me to track which one is out of the space. by using efs I don't have to worry about the size at least.
