Hi,

We're putting together a proof of concept demo for a few different Oracle/NAS configurations. One of the setups is causing me allot of pain. It consists of a Win2k3 based NAS server and a Win2k3 Oracle server. The NAS box serves a NFS (not CIFS) share to the other win box that is running MS SFU (services for unix). With SFU I can mount the NFS share and try any of a million different NFS uid to NTFS owner mappings successfully. But when I run DBCA to build a database it craps out. I apologize for not having the specific error handy right now ( I'm at home) but it is a file creation error ORA-yatayata unable to open file

We've explored allot of tests with Win file permissions being opened up and NFS creation being opened up - we always have the same failure. We have even served the NFS diskspace from a unix box - still the same failure. This has lead me to suspect that DBCA and SFU/Client NFS don't play well together.

My question is: Has anyone ever used Microsofts SFU NFS client to mount an NFS share and proceeded to successfully build a 10g database on the nfs share?

Anyone..... Anyone .....?

Thanks in advance for any info, leads, war stories, insults, death threats...

James
