hi, list friends:

	I just installed Oracle 9i release 2 on redhat advanced server 2.1.Now i have some questions, and want to share my painful experience:
	I created the database manually ,my experience:
1. in the second node, the following dir is not created as some other guys said: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit, $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log, $ORACLE_HOME/network/log, $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/log. I mannually created it before any maybe error appeared.

2. I did not hit any error during installation.I did not choose any other option i do not need, like advanced security, spatial etc. 3.

It seems that without LVM, Linux can only support 16 partitions per disk.(3 primary partition, 1 extend partition. And you can get only 12 partitions from the extend partition). It is very difficult to get a big rac system installed.Is there really that kind of limit on Linux?
I tried to install LVM(1.0.5 download from sistina), but it seems not working properly.After i created a vg and lv, whatever i do, it said something like 'VGDA not consistent with ...' oops, i cannot remember the exact error message.So, has anyone tested LVM on redhat AS2.1? If yes, would you like to share your experience?
Now it seems RAC database is running.When i did the veify: lsnodes -v, it give out message like:(Both node give out the same message) [oracle_at_rac1 log]$ lsnodes -v CMCLI WARNING: CMInitContext: init ctx(0x804ad00)

rac1
rac2
CMCLI WARNING: CommonContextCleanup: ctx(0x804ad00)

CMCLI WARNING: CommonContextCleanup: closing comm port

What does this mean?

4. There is some trace file in $bdump dir, some of them has lines like: ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/9.2.0
