I keep a /music, as do several of my friends, with some of whom I maintain an NFS connection. That leads to another concept: Somewhat after AFS, I usually mount a remote host's tree under /hostname. So, if my friend's host is fred, I'll have /fred/music. At work, we have several Xyratex disk arrays. Three are named after the Stooges. LUNs in the larry array I mount at /xy/larry/<volume>, LUNs in moe I mount at /xy/moe/<volume>. If I NFS mount a volume on moe from a server named gamma, it's at /gamma/xy/moe/<volume>. Oracle likes to live in directories named uNN, and for ease of use, one typically sym links these into /. So, back to work, /u01 will be a sym link to /xy/moe/A/u01, and $ORACLE_HOME gets set to /u01/app/oracle/product/<version>. That also lets me move Oracle to a different logical disk without breaking its configuration or troubling the DBA too much. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
