Oracle on NFS

I know that at one time, Oracle recommended that you do not put files onto an NFS file system. I think the OS needs to guarantee that the data was actually written to disk, and when you use NFS the OS "thinks" the data was written, when in reality it may still be transferring across the network. Somebody else may be able to shed some more current information on this.

Try

or search www.oracle.com for 'Oracle Storage Compatibility'.

The last time I looked, there were 5 Oracle-approved vendors that offer NFS-mounted storage products.
