See table 1-7 in http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/pdf/A70110_01.pdf /u[0-9][0-9] are user data directories. Note this was before SAME. Long, long before.
.../product means distribution directories. Perhaps they meant things like forms executables. There was a time one would edit .INP files...

So how many multiplexed redo files have been lost due to being named *.log since then? :-)

I used to print out table 1-8 since so many places would have their own odd variants of directory structures, often to include something about backups... note you _could_ have something besides oracle under app... and home for a user is different than home for the db, that only varied to $OH/dbs because, er, "some things" didn't follow OFA...

And of course, there is a post on oracle-l somewhere where Cary Milsap doesn't like the 10g OFA...
