It seems that OCFS (our version anyway) is not extendable unless you take it offline. A key point for me would be a clustered filesystem that is dynamically growable as needed. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Chris Taylor Oracle DBA Parallon IT&S -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
