RMAN 10G NFS Mount Options

We backup our Oracle databases using RMAN and then write the backup pieces out to an NFS share. This has always worked well, but RMAN started complaining that the NFS share was not mounted with the correct options when we upgraded to Oracle 10G. After some poking around in the docs I finally came up with a set of mount options that work.

Vfstab entry on a Solaria 8 box:
nfsserver.domain.com:/path/to/remote/mountpoint /local-mountpoint nfs 0 yes rw,bg,intr,hard,timeo=600,wsize=32768,rsize=32768
Manual mount on a Solaris 8 box:
mount -o rw,bg,intr,hard,timeo=600,wsize=32768,rsize=32768 nfsserver.domain.com:/path/to/remote/mountpoint /local-mountpoint

According to the docs, the options on a Linux box are pretty much the same, except you would add the following:
nfsver=3,tcp
