Hi Andreas,

We tried, but admittedly on a uncertified configuration. NFS with with a NetApp Filer is documented and supported by Oracle, AFAIK. We did use the correct mount options, and it would "fluctuate" :) in terms of being seen by any given node as shared. "Mount point x is not shared across all nodes in the cluster" was the exception, and then we clicked try again, it would work. Not the most robust config we were running, LOL!

Once again, we were not on a certified config, though, we were just testing at one point out of "curiosity" :).
