actually, massive relational databases (like Oracle) don't complain about running over NFS, in fact, I've had cases where that has been the vendor recommended configuration (the performance will depend heavily on your NFS server, and you don't want to have multiple systems accessing the data over NFS at the same time... but it can work very well under the right conditions)

Oh yes, of course. Sorry, the last time I installed a big Oracle DB was so long ago (2002? something like that) that direct I/O was still the preferred-verging-on-mandatory I/O method.
