I know that Oracle recommends it - they even built an NFS client
into their database server to make the most of it.

Last I heard (which has been a while), Oracle supported specific brand named implementations of NFS, and warned against any others on a data integrity basis.

Why would they implement their own client?  Did they have to do something special in their client to make it safe?

Cheers,

Jeff
