Well, in the standard nerd answer to the lockdown I am going to do some more blogging and experimenting. But I do need some answers to some questions first, and I cant really find them on the metalink.

First, all the examples for setting up DBFS talk about setting it up in its own database. Is it mandatory to configure it in a single use database? Or is there some advantage to doing that? I suppose one would be so you dont have to shut it down every time you start your other database, but are there other reasons?

I saw an article referencing something called and Oracle File System (OFS). I cant find reference to that except in one place. Can someone point me to documentation on that if it exists.

Finally, I plan to put the DBFS system in dataguard. I dont see any reason why I couldnt, just copy the OS configuration and otherwise set up standard dataguard. Is there any reason why I coudn't do that?
