Datafiles on NFS mount

Hello,

Is Oracle 8.1.6 capable of creating and using a datafile on an NFS-mounted disk on another machine? We have two Sun machines (OS block size is 8k on both); the machine running Oracle is short on disk, while there is plenty available on the second machine. We are planning to purchase another larger machine, but in the meantime would like to get by for a short period without investing more in the present machines. We are not using hot backups (it's a small datawarehouse). What problems occur when either of the machines is rebooted?

Thanks to any responders.
