Interesting note, thanks.

I'm not sure I read it that way (and I literally mean I'm not sure). What does "no longer validate" mean? That you should know you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle if it doesn't work, as the "Oracle technology requirements are well know [sic]".

It sounds like as long as you pass the approproate NFS export/mount options you should "know what you are doing", but if it doesn't work, we haven't "validated" it anyway? Received on Tue Feb 19 2008 - 15:40:41 CST
