I am 'pro' the idea of an organized file architecture, but very 'con' on this implementation of it. The pathnames are excessively long and cumbersome. On one machine where Oracle was installed by a third party, we had vanilla OFA and I hated it. I tried a modified version of it, getting rid of some of the levels. (I changed path a/b/c/d/e to a/c/e.) On the machine where we had installed oracle before OFA, we came up with our own pattern for naming file systems and directories to identify their function. I would suggest thinking about what OFA was trying to achieve, and come up with a standard of your own that will be usable consistently over multiple platforms. But, that's just -my- opinion :') Any others ? helena
