Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Linux and Oracle Cluster File System
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.

List,
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.
