All,
Thanks for the replies. I figured that since Oracle will complain
when NFS mount options are not correct...
$ oerr ora 27054
27054, 00000, "NFS file system where the file is created or resides is
not mounted with correct options"
// *Cause: The file was on an NFS partition and either reading the mount tab
// file failed or the partition wass not mounted with the correct
// mount option.
// *Action: Make sure mount tab file has read access for Oracle user and
// the NFS partition where the file resides is mounted correctly.
// For the list of mount options to use refer to your platform
// specific documentation.
Then perhaps the information is available via some v$ table etc...
anyways... it sounds like I am out of luck so I will have to pull the
file path names and get the actual file system details via a shell
script.
Ken.
