[Linux-cluster] Any recommentdations for Oracle on a Netapp filer ?

[Ewald Beekman]

Hi Lon,

Is the howto available on the net? I would like to play around with
GFS and i suspect a NFS shared storage is the simplest way to try
it out.

best regards,
Ewald...

## Your mind-mint is:
The IRS spends God knows how much of your tax money on these toll-free
information hot lines staffed by IRS employees, whose idea of a dynamite tax
tip is that you should print neatly.  If you ask them a real tax question,
such as how you can cheat, they're useless.

So, for guidance, you want to look to big business.  Big business never pays
a nickel in taxes, according to Ralph Nader, who represents a big consumer
organization that never pays a nickel in taxes...
