I’ve been having a play with the DBFS functionality in 11gR2.
For the most part it is extremely simple. If you are working on Linux then it’s a really neat solution. On any other platform you are limited to using the dbfs_client tool, which is currently lacking a lot of functionality. Even so, it’s a good first step.
I am having a bit of trouble with the “/etc/fstab” mounting. I’ve included it in the article, with a warning that it isn’t working for me. If anyone has got it to work I would really appreciate some input on what I’ve got wrong. The documentation is a little sparse on this subject even with some digging around it’s proving difficult.
I’ll probably be witing another article on a different aspect of DBFS soon.

Hi Tim,
Have you worked out the Wallet in support of fstab mounting?
Hi.
No. I played around with it for a while then kinda gave up. As I said in the article, the automount is not available, so the /etc/fstab is not of much interest, apart from the simpler mount syntax.
Do you have it sorted?
Cheers
