I see no issue with this. I"m also fairly positive you can run your database
via NFS provided you have the proper mount settings for your platform. ( I
could be mistaken). I know some Security Admin's prefer the audit_file_dest
be set to a secured location that the 'oracle' user can only write to and
then have them reviewed by a third party. I'm not sure how Database Vault
(or is it Audit Vault , or both) handles this situation.
