Hi all,
I'm trying to set up and OFA compliant Oracle system on a single disk system (well, two disks, but they are mirrored). Reading through the documentation, and some of the postings here, it seems like the four partition scheme that Oracle suggests doesn't make sense for me, and I'm thinking of the following scheme:

/opt/oracle/d01

on one partition (for the Oracle application) and,

/opt/oracle/d02, /opt/oracle/d03, /opt/oracle/d04
on another partition (Oracle data).

I'm using d02, d03 and d04 instead of putting all the data in one directory for upgrade flexibility.

I'd like to know if anyone sees a problem with this configuration, or have a better idea.
One problem that I see right now is that because the Oracle data, index and rollback etc are on the same partition, the files might get fragmented. Can anyone comment on this?
Thank you.
