Well, 1999 was 7 years ago, much has changed since then.

The main thing is that now the reliable NFS3/TCP is mainstream instead unreliable of NFS2/UDP.

Also, now the need for NFS mount parameters like noac and actimeo is well documented, probably not so in 1999.

Also, I think synchronous NFS IO appeared into linux kernels somewhere in 2.4, so if you were on linux, it was impossible to satisfy Oracle's requirements then anyway..

Latest I checked ( 1999) NFS was big no no for Oracle - but I did it anyways and database got corrupted.
