Hi,
If you can cd to a single directory and list all of your files then it means
that all of your files are in a single filesystem probably (unless you've been
VERY clever) sharing the same disks.
I agree with the suggestion that you can create links to the datafiles from a
"central" directory but that needs maintenance for each file added.
If you have an OFA compliant structure then "ls  /u*/oradata/db_name1/*.dbf"
will give you the names of your datafiles.

Regards,

Mike Hately

Well, you could always put a directory of symbolic links under your
$ORACLE_BASE.

Does anyone use OFA as their company standard?  If so, are there any
complaints about it's structure?  For example, the commingling of different
database subdirectories under a given mount point?
e.g..
/u02/oradata/db_name1/userdata01.dbf
/u02/oradata/db_name2/userdata01.dbf
/u03/oradata/db_name1/userdata02.dbf
/u03/oradata/db_name2/userdata02.dbf
You cannot cd to a given subdirectory, ls -ltR | more to see all the
datafiles associated with a given database.  Instead, from / you have to ls
-ltR | grep db_name1 to scan the full file system.  Seems like there should
be a better way.
Any input, pro or con, is appreciated.
Thanks, Linda
