How Oracle datafiles are allocated physically on disk

Can someone please tell me how an Oracle datafile is allocated on a
disk attatched to a HP unix Server? Assuming a newly formatted disk
that is not used by anything. If I create a subdirectory
/disk1/oradata/LIVE and then create a datafile of 2G. How contiguous
can this be? What are the variations of how the datafile is allocated
on disk?



Thanks.
