Sorry, let me explain.
We are using Oracle. Oracle uses filesystems to create datafiles in, for example it will create files like:
/oradata01/system01.dbf /oradata02/users01.dbf
Now if /oradata02 (a new filesystem I created) points to the device /dev/sda, instead of /dev/sda1 (a partition on sda), will this be a problem ?
It formatted and mounted fine, without any problems, and Oracle is ok with the space. I just don't want to run into problems further down the line, so I just want to make sure it is ok like this.
With some Unix systems you have to be careful with your device partitions, and your offsets that you use, but I don't have much experience on Linux, and just want to confirm that the above setup will be ok.
If you're running oracle, surely you're running it on SLES? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
