Sorry.

I should clarify: The files reside on the same machine as the RDBMS. That is, no NFS to access any Oracle data files.

However, the directories themselves are exported so that other machines can "see" them. But our application only talks to the DB via Pro*C code which then uses the files. That aspect is local. I believe this probably isn't a problem, right?

So the real question is: Is there a problem with exporting filesystems even if the .dbf files are not touched that way?
