Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Oracle install - req. disk space confusion
I thank you for your response. Let me clarify if I can:
I have a 6 Gig HD, all for solaris. When installing Solaris I created three
slices:
/ with 5.2 Gig (I've used ~1 gig)
/export/home with .5 Gig
swap with .44 Gig
To install oracle I did a "mkdir" from the root directory and created /u01, /u02, one for the software, one for the database. So far as I can tell, those u0x directories are on a 4.3 gig slice since I created them under the root directory. (I am new to the whole filesystem concept, so if I'm waaaay off base in my understanding of slices, mounts, etc.... just tell me and I'll go learn a bit more before I trouble you further). But the oracle universal installer (at the component installation window) shows only 171 Meg showing for the '/' volume when "df -k" says different.
This is what "df -k" shows me from my "oracle" user account, if it helps. thanks again!!
