Hi
As long as you don't have issues with having data files mounted remotely ie
you have a pretty robust network between the server this shouldn't be a
problem just clearly mark/document the directories that you use on the
server that you mount file systems from as sometimes clever sysadmins delete
directories that they cant find owners of files.
One issue that you can have a little problem but it is mostly cosmetic and
that is if you don't use common UID's in Unix. I always did consider
remotely mounting datafiles as not a bright idea but apparently NFS 3
alleviates most of those concerns.
Still you cant help someone rebooting the remote server.
An old sys admin trick is to put a file named -i in the directory that you don't want touched.

We have a "test" server that has 1GB free space. We need to test our Oracle and application upgrade and there are no other servers other than this "test" server. Obviously there is not enough space. The powers above want to use two spare disks that are on our production system. Unfortunately they are part of a disk array and we can't remove them seperately and install them onto the "test" system. So what they want is to remotely mount these partitions (which are from the production server) onto the "test" system. That way I have more space and should be able to install Oracle. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem when installing Oracle? The production server already has two Oracle installations on seperate partitions. Could there be a conflict? I have a feeling there won't be a problem, but I just wanted to make sure.
