40GB or More Custom Format Plan
You can customize the format plan when a storage device larger than 40 GB is installed in your system. Before formatting the storage device, plan the number of volumes, volume names, and relative percentage of storage device disk space. A maximum of 4 volumes in the data partition are allowed.
Table 9-3 Custom System Format Plan (40 GB +):
Volume Number | Volume Name | Volume Size |
---|---|---|
systempartition | /opt | 8 GB |
system partition | /opt/crash | 2 x RAM size (not less than 8 GB) |
data partitions | /mnt/<user-label> | user-defined percentage of remaining space |
Note:
Oracle recommends creating a single mount point for data partitions, such as/mnt/app
, and then using subfolders for specific purposes, such
as /mnt/app/HDR
or /mnt/app/CDR
.
Caution:
Creating a folder directly under/mnt
without
first formatting a partition is not supported and likely to result in data loss. Use the
format
command to create mount points.
