I am installing Oracle 10.2.0.3 on a system (RedHat) that has multiple terabyte (2+) storage LUNS and Oracle is reporting as negative free space, something like -2398573495730457 free space. Ignoring this creates the instance fine. So two questions: 1) Should DBCA be reporting the space correct? 2) Is there a hidden problem with ignoring this? (can it bite me later, type of thing) Regards, Joe Frohne -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
