install oracle on the fileserver. or buy a raid. preferably to smaller raids so you can seperate the archive logs from the datafiles.

running oracle over nfs is big NO-NO. one of the first things they told me on my oracle-course years ago was that accessing the data files over nfs was a sure way to loose data.

and performance would probably suck, too.

be safe,
