I'm new to oracle (although a few years experience with unixes) I have a question about raw partitions.
I don't understand when do we use them during the oracle instalation process.
Can I install everything on raw partition, I mean all oracle tree, for example :
..../oracle/admin
..../oracle/doc
..../oracle/jre

...../oracle/oradata
...../oracle/oui
....../oracle/product

or I use it only while creating new databases, while the rest is installed in ufs filesystem

documentation doesn't answer these basic (very important) questions, so i don't understand this
