When you say "footprint of 9i", my mind automatically
flashes to the opening credits of Monty Python's Flying
Circus, in which the "Liberty Bell March" is terminated with
a large foot squashing down (*splat*)...

I'm not sure what type of systems you're running, but I
haven't seen drives smaller than 18G much lately.  Perhaps
its time to upgrade to a SAN anyway?  :-)  1G isn't all that
much to ask (especially if your production systems are
running in ARCHIVELOG mode), but your comments prove that
point that "disk is cheap, until you try to justify the
purchase of more"...
