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 10-3 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.
