I don't use NFS, so I cannot answer the question. I do have a 3124599027 oracle file on my system. I did ftp the file over to an nt enterprise system and back. (pant, pant, pant) When I started up Oracle using the file, there were no issues. Perhaps you should try to ftp the file and bypass any nfs related issues?
