Re: installing oracle 8i on Solaris 9

If this is for you to play with, it doesn't really matter. Put it all on /u01. But if this is a db for practical use (dev/test/prod), follow the best practices and keep them separated. ie:

/u01    binaries, log files, etc...
/u02/oradata/SID/
/u03/oradata/SID/
/u04/oradata/SID/

and so on...

The general idea is to keep filesystem fragmentation to a minimum on mount points where datafiles will exist, and to provide maximum i/o throughput for the database. The other mount points will be used for the database... to spread out your control files, redo logs, datafiles, etc...

See Steve Adams' site http://www.ixora.com.au/tips for some excellent reading on this topic.
