Personally, I would advice against using NFS for Oracle database files. This is from a performance point of view.

Not all NFS implementations are supported. The Oracle server must be able to verify that file writes have been made to disk. File systems that do not support this verification are not supported for use with Oracle databases. Check with your vendor or Oracle suppport.

Johan
