I wonder though about the adoption of NFS for datafiles, as that's still one of the bigger taboos for databases. And yes, I know that Oracle's using NFS for >90% of their hosting environment, but I'm still reluctant to use it enterprise-wide... Absolutely, I see we agree now.

I feel my indictments of ASM are clear and not implied whatsover. As I point out in my postings, ASM partially solves a problem that does not need to be solved. I think over time NFS will become more of a popular option--particularly after the release of 11g. I'm quite certain there was no covert anti-Veritas messaging when they produced the Metalink note using the term "directio" where they should have used "directio(3C)". I think it was more likely that the author of that note doesn't know the platform that well.

I’m quite certain there was no covert anti-Veritas messaging when they produced the Metalink note using the term “directio” where they should have used “directio(3C)”. I think it was more likely that the author of that note doesn’t know the platform that well.

It's probably just that from following your blog I have the impression you don't like how Oracle is marketing ASM, which made me think you also imply that in this article.

I stated matter-of-factly that the Metalink note stated "directio" when it should have stated "directio(3C)". That incorrectness is very sloppy. On the contrary, I did not imply anything.
