Robert, how would you feel about having a library of monitoring scripts on
an nfs mount? I do this so that scripts are available on every Oracle
server. I also backup config files, etc. to this mount making it easy for
me to scan, in a single directory, something like all cron backup files to
see where something is running. It's these things why I feel the nfs mount
serves a great benefit. And many others...

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.

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?
