Oracle Corp. is NOT going to support NFS mounted tablespaces. You
will be relying on assurances from your NFS HW vendor that all writes
will get done.
You MUST mount the NFS partions with a hard mount. Oracle WILL crap
out if the NFS server is having problems and the file system is mounted
soft. This will hang the machine running Oracle if the NFS is having
problems, but what are you gonna do ? If other stuff runs on the box,
they are going to be annoyed when the machine hangs.
I would be sure to test my backup and recovery strategy VERY well if
you do this.
