How to
use NFS mounted device?
Is there any FAQ's or other source of information that would address
the pro's and con's of putting log devices on a NFS mounted drive?
Anyone have any thoughts and or experiences with NFS mounted drives
and Oracle8?
Ans:
I wouldn't even consider it. The writing of log files needs to run
smoothly always, as writing the log is done before any change is committed
to the database. Network mounted drives will always be slower than ordinary
drives. I would strongly advise against doing this, and I didn't even consider
the possibility of the remote system going down, which will crash the database,
and cause problems on the most vital files there are.
