Thanks for your reply Bob.

I tried just running the CREATE DATABASE statement earlier. Unfortunately it returns with an 'ORA-01034: ORACLE not available' error message.

Point taken regarding /opt howevver, this particular filesystem /opt/ app/oracle/oradata appears to sit on SAN and not the server HDD.
