Single file system or multiple....

520889May 29 2007 — edited May 30 2007

Hi,

I have to install 10GR2 /Linux RH4 on SAN.

SAN is configured as RAID5 and already contains multiple servers’ system files and many other objects.

I'm wondering if I should proceed with a single file system :
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_xx
/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/db_xx
/u01/app/oracle/oradata
.............

or to create additional file systems:

/u02
/u03
........
And spread out the files (data, log..). ?

The system administrator stated that there is no need/difference of having multiple file systems as the SAN takes care of everything and functions as one big single drive.

Any help is appreciated.

Dobby
