Re: Oracle database on a nfs server

Well, what we will have before the end of the week is a NetApp, a big file server, that is said to be incredibly fast and reliable...

From what I have just read from the NetApp web site, it seems that the NetApp can handle it, and very fast... But I will prefer to have a local raid5 hardrive instead of a remote nfs server, which we will use for a lot of things, have we will have a lot of machines with a lot of traffics that will rely on this file server.

Now, I think that I will somes tests on the NetApp, and then some tests on the local hardrive so see the difference.
