Re: mount points, how to use them?

with a "professional" install, you will get a script that can be run from a command line. the "database creation assistant" allows you to specify only one mount point. i'd recommend that you save the script files, and then modify them, and then run the script in svrmgrl.

the pros use script files. the GUI is for amateurs.

and to really take advantage of multiple mount points, you need to have separate file systems on separate drives.
