RE: OFA (Optimal Flexible Architecture) in practice

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

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
