RE: Is nfs reliable?

I would not have an issue with monitoring scripts… However, anything diagnostic or the like I’d keep on local storage…

Robert, how would you feel about having a library of monitoring scripts on an nfs mount? I do this so that scripts are available on every Oracle server. I also backup config files, etc. to this mount making it easy for me to scan, in a single directory, something like all cron backup files to see where something is running. It's these things why I feel the nfs mount serves a great benefit. And many others...

We Run our RAC databases using NFS as the shared media for datafiles. We have yet to have a failure because of NFS. We don’t use shared software directories however, just local directories. My personal preference is for local software.

I had someone tell me today that nfs should not be relied on and it should not be used for a shared mount that needed to be reliably available.

Has anyone ever hear this before?
