Re: mount points, how to use them?

Hi!

Well, that figures. I havn't seen of heard of any pro DBA that really prefers any GUI instead of say SQL+.
The purpose of me trying to install into four (in this particular case) directories is simply to get aquainted with the procedure as such. My current lab system runs on two 9Gb SCSI disks, and I'm fully aware of the fact that I will not gain anything in performance, security or data integrity. I simply want to know how to do it if I'm asked to install an Oracle server in a "real" server environment. I'll go ahead and make the install into a single mountpoint, /u01 at the moment and learn about all the other features/obstacles. I guess that the performance will be good enough, as it's a brand new machine, with an Athlon 950 with 512 Mb of RAM. The SCSI system is LVD 160, so the disk system shouldn't be that much of a bottleneck either.

Cheers and thank you

Björn
