We are coming from Windows. On Windows everything was on one drive letter (not the C drive). With the move to Linux, I was planning to put everything on one mount point since on Windows we rarely had I/O issues. Colleague is suggesting separate mount points. >>> Tim Gorman <tim.evdbt_at_gmail.com> 3/28/18 3:43 PM >>>

If the former (Windows), then there are good reasons to separate binaries from database files, mainly having to do with growing log and trace files possibly filling the file-system and impacting the database (or OS, if you're only planning on one mount-point altogether). If the latter (UNIX), what did you do on proprietary UNIX? And why would you change? Either way, would you consider using Oracle ASM? On 3/28/18 13:34, Jeffrey Beckstrom wrote:
