Mike,

We Run our RAC databases using NFS as the shared media for datafiles. We have 
yet to have a failure because of NFS. We don’t use shared software directories 
however, just local directories.
My personal preference is for local software.

Subject: Is nfs reliable?

I had someone tell me today that nfs should not be relied on and it should not 
be used for a shared mount that needed to be reliably available.

Has anyone ever hear this before?
