I'm not too sure about that. I'm now in a situation where I have to duplicate a database to a NFS mounted fs using rman. The restore just hangs forever and the datafiles never come off in full.
Metaclunk, as pretty much usual, is of no help in resolving this problem.
So does Oracle support nfs? I don't think so.
