5.3.3. Files System Entries
Oracle single-instance can run on any RHEL-supported filesystem type. T hs is unlike RAC, where only
GFS is specifically certified for use. Most customers use EXT3, but EXT4, GFS and NFS are supported
as well.
<fs device="/dev/mapper/dbp5" force_unmount="1" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/ff"
name="ora_ff"/>
<fs device="/dev/mapper/dbp6" force_unmount="1" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/gg"
name="ora_gg"/>
And for NFS mounts:
<netfs host="F3040" export="/vol/ed" force_unm ount="1" m ountpoint="/m nt/ed"
options="rw,hard,nointr,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0,proto=tcp"
name="ora_nfs_ed"/>
Note
NFS must be mounted using only the mount options that are required by Oracle. T he most
important of these is actimeo and it should be set to zero to ensure the access times stay
current.
