I had a similar problem initially because Oracle saw the mount point as temporary rather than permanent.

Perhaps you have something like:
mount -t nfs 192.168.2.250:/vol/vol2 /mnt

Change to using fstab and an entry such as: netapp1:/vol/vol2/alpha /u01 nfs
rw,bg,intr,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,noac,nolock,tcp,vers=3 0 0

Get the correct syntax from your vendor that corresponds with your hardware and operating system version.
