Jos,
Yes,
you are right that if you use OCFS then you can just have one mount point and
create all
data
files under it, because OCFS is a file system. It makes it a lot easier to
manage space
and
you can use commands like: cp, mv, rm etc which you can't do to a raw
partition.
Backup
on OCFS is also easier than using raw.

Subject: OT: Linux and Oracle Cluster File System
I am a newbie on Linux and Clustering technology, I need to setup a RAC system and have been reading some
documentation on how to do it. I am a bit confuse about the difference between setting the disk up with
Linux raw partition and Oracle cluster file system, I hope someone on the list can give me some hints or
useful reference for reading. The document said for Lunix raw partition I need to setup a partition per
tablespace, this is quit a lot considering for Oracle Apps there is about 200 tablespaces. I am wondering
if I am using Oracle Clustering file system (OCFS), can I define one big partition for OCFS and mount it on
/u01 and create all the files under this one mount point or the one raw partition per tablespace rule still
applies.
