Re: can't store oracle Database in NAS based on linux?

People have put Oracle databases on NAS, but IMO, it is not a good idea. Oracle likes to keep in touch with the datafiles that make up the database on a pretty regular basis. I've seen where network glitches or hiccups present problems if the Oracle datafiles are on NAS. And this can cause the database to crash. So I won't use NAS for Oracle. SAN or direct attached disk is much better.
