Important known Bug fixes for Direct NFS for Oracle RDBMS are listed below: There is a performance degradation for multiblock reads when using Direct NFS, as Direct NFS fragments reads into multiple single block reads. These reads are not fragmented if the OS NFS client is being used. For maximum performance and stability, NetApp recommends to install all patches affecting Direct NFS described in Oracle document 1495104.1 for Oracle RDBMS.
