Please do not top post. Scroll to the bottom of messages to reply.

The comments from Pete and HPUXRAC are good. My first thought reading your response, above, was how about flash recovery and where are the archive logs going?

Oracle's recommendation, with respect to ASM and RAC, involves 6-8 separate mount points: Be sure you review the docs.
