Is this really anything to do with SCORM, or do you simply mean that large files will not upload?

Enable Debugging in Moodle. Also, open the javascript console in your browser. Try again. Are there any errors in the console (in red) and/or are there any errors in your server logs?

I'm not sure but, as a possibly very simple solution, it might be worth trying the alternative to ghostscipt - Poppler / pdftoppm - instead.

I expected you were going to say something like that.

You need to go back to whoever is forcing you and point out that Moodle support for Oracle is ending. It's therefore the wrong choice.

Moodle is optimised to work with MySQL and Postgres. One of those is the correct database.

Unless there is a VERY good reason - don't use Oracle with Moodle. It's technically supported, but nobody develops/tests on it and so on. I can promise you that you'll have a hard time.

AND... after Moodle version 4.5, support for Oracle is being removed altogether...

Sorry if I wasn't clearer. Moodle relies heavily on caching. By default, it will use files in wherever your 'moodledata' resides. If this is NFS then, yes, your site will probably be very slow. For anything beyond a trivial site you should implement a "proper" cache. There are alternatives but Redis is well-used and does a good job.

Once you have that in place, NFS should be absolutely fine. Even for very large sites.
