It all depends on what they are trying to do....or if they are blindly 
following recommendations for the PC world.  Or, for that matter, they know 
they have 30 GB of disk space on a current server (and not telling you how much 
is used).  

On my Oracle test systems, I have:

1.  3390-9 for Linux and Oracle software.  Used 2.4 GB
2.  (2) 3390-9 in a LVM for Oracle data.    Used 13 GB
3.  (2) VDISK for swap.  300 MB and 600 MB.  Max used about 15%.

LVM is used as it is very easy to add volumes and let Oracle expand the 
tablespaces.

The real question is how much data are they planning on putting on the test 
database?

I'm just wondering about quantities of disk space that concern people.
Is 30GB noticeable - or in the noise?
