NFS for Oracle

Oracle expects a stanza in /etc/filesystems with the options shown below. If an NFS share is mounted with the wrong options you are likely to see ORA-01580 if using RMAN to backup to the NFS location or ORA-27054 if using DataPump export.

/local/mount/point:

  dev             = "/remote/fs/path"

  vfs             = nfs

  nodename        = remote_host

  mount           = true

  options         = bg,hard,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=udp,sec=sys,rw

  account         = false
