Re: Oracle install - req. disk space confusion

Joe,

It would be useful to have a little more clarification. You indicate the problem is with /u02 (the data filesystem) but it read as if the problem was part of the software install. If you have

        5.2 minus 4.3 = 0.9 Gbytes for /u01
the problem might be insufficient disk space in /u01. A full install of 8.1.5+, in my experience, needs about 1.1 ~ 1.2 Gbytes for oracle system software.

If it _is_ a problem with the datafiles, then I would suggest you have inadvertantly added an extra digit in one (or more) of your SIZE values.
