File system partitions

I'm installing Oracle 9i database on Unix system (HP).
How many partitions should the file system have?

U mean how many filesystem.
It depends on the database. If it's a test one for you (test some feature, ...) you can make only one filesystem.
For a better installation, but u should create (it's an example):
/oracle : installation, filesystem
/oradata01 : datas
/oradata02 : index
/log1 : redo log 1
/log2 : multiplexed redo log
/arch : archive
/undo : undo tablespace
/temp : temporary
Make the datas, index and redo on differents disks if possible...

  • Linux Cluster File System partitions for 10g RAC

    Hi Friends,
    I planned to install 2 Node Oracle 10g RAC on RHEL and I planned to use Linux File system itself for OCR,Voting Disk and datafiles (no OCFS2/RAW/ASM)
    I am having SAN storage.
    I would like to know how do i create shared/cluster partitions for OCR,Voting Disk and Datafiles (common storage on SAN).
    Do i need to install any Linux cluster file system for creating these shared partitions (as we have sun cluster in solaris)?
    If so let me know what versions are supported and provide the necessary Note / Link

    Yep, your home partition is directly after the root partition, so what I suggested should work, however, give good consideration to the size of each, considering you don't have another drive (according to df) to use for storage. Personally, I only have 12GB on my home partition (after resizing) and now have 23GB on root.

  • How to recover from readonly file system?

    hi
    we are using EBS R12 RUP 6.is it possible to recover one of our instance from read only file system partition?
    scenario is :
    Had a conference with customer and found the below :
    Unable to start/run any "AD" scripts under $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME". For example : Unable to start the concurrent manager using adcmctl.sh script. Below error can be seen :
    Permission denied: Could write in "adcmctl.txt" : read only file system.
    We have tried to change the permission but the same "read only file system was coming". To confirm the issue we tried to create a directory or file using "mkdir" and "touch" command respectively but got the same error. Customer has confirmed that it was 15 days back they found it working after that its not working.
    Explained to customer that the issue is not with EBS but with some other operating system related. Please check with your OS administrator and make sure that this read only file system error will not come.
    Action Plan
    ================
    1.) Check with your OS administrator and resolve the "Read only file system error". It is a OS permission error. Update the SR once it got resolved.rgrds

    Sorry to be glib, but there's a lot we don't know about the architecture of your system, which makes it difficult to provide specific advice. You haven't indicated how much of your system is hosted on the filesystem that has been set readonly. Is it just the INST_TOP? Full applications techstack? Database? I'm guessing not the database, or you wouldn't be asking about starting apps tier components, you'd be asking about database recovery, and the problem wouldn't have gone unnoticed for 15 days. If you're just looking at the apps tier filesystem, or a portion of it (such as INST_TOP, which is sometimes separated from the rest of the apps install), you need to decide if you want to:
    1) Roll back your entire system to the point when the filesystem was set readonly, or
    2) Accept the loss of log files, etc. on the apps tier side, decide that what's in the database is more valuable, and move on from there. Assuming the fsck and subsequent filesystem repair is successful, of course. ;-)

  • Verication file system failed to make partition

    I can't make a partition verification file system failed

    Hello,
    In Disk Utility, try Repair Disk first, you need another boot drive or the Install Disc if this is trying on your Boot Drive.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Partitioning previously used Windows NT File System for use with Mac and PC

    Hi there,
    I am about to follow your advice also for the same issue, the worry I have is that when I select partition 1, it says "To erase and partition the selected disk..." and so I am worried that if I do this it will erase the current contents of the hard disk drive (which were copied there from PCs in previous use).
    If so, is there a way to use the hard disk drive with a mac without erasing the contents?
    Thanks
    Your case is different and NO do not partition the EHD yet unless you are prepared to completely erase your PC data. Before progressing though, do you intend to share the EHD with a PC and your Mac? If so this is not advisable but it is possible, however you will need to compromise. Please answer that question first and then we can proceed with some advice.
    BTW it's generally not a good idea to ask a question in a thread that has already been answered, particularly one that is 3+ years old! In such a case it's normally better to create your own thread. "
    The answer to the question in the above comment is that ideally I would like to use with both Mac and PC, why is this not advisable?
    Please discuss my best options. I am wondering if I could transfer the current contents of the disk drive elsewhere, partition (which would erase) the disk drive, then put back the contents along with the new files which I have been trying to put on in the first place?
    If this were to work would I then be tied down to only using this disk drive with a Mac?
    Thank you.

    Ideally it is best to have seperate (discreet) EHD's for a PC and Mac due to their differences in HD formatting. However, this is not always feasable but there are alternative solutions availble. Among those are:
    Creating and useing a Dropbox account that can be shared by PCs, Macs, IOS and Android devices. Dropbox allows for 2GB of free storage and additional storage is available for a small monthly fee.
    Another possiblity is formating an EHD so that it may be shared by both a PC and Mac, this format is FAT 32. The downside of doing this is the size of the files written to the HD are limited to 4GB.

  • How do you install a file system on an empty partition?

    Hi. I'm running 10.3.9 on a B&W G3. I've formatted a 100Gb drive with a 40Gb partition on which Panther is installed (and which is running even as I type) and several empty partitions. I was going to install OS 9 on one of the empty partitions, but Disk Utility doesn't seem to want to let me do install a file system on an empty partition. Hence, the OS 9 installer can't find the empty partitions, and therefore can't install.
    Is there another way to put a file system on an empty partition?

    Matt--
    One suggestion: if you can't figure out how to put a file system on the empty space, you could clone your current partition to an external drive, re-partition the internal drive drive and then clone the external back. Like John, I've heard of utilities that can re-partition a drive without erasing your data, but I just can't imagine using one if I didn't have a clone anyway. So that's what I've done when I want to change a partition size.

  • Problem with the EFI system partition's file system.

    I installed latest yosemite 10.10.2 update - did a verify disk on “WDC WD1001FALS-403AA0 Media” (internal HD on my iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and got
    Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
    Error: The partition map needs to be repaired because there’s a problem with the EFI system partition’s file system.
    However a verify disk on the volume partition gets a clean bill of health!
    I haven't done a 'repair disk' yet. Thought I'd check if anybody else has same message first.
    Cheers

    I had issues where my MacPro 8-core would not boot after the 10.7.4 upgrade, but my MacBook Air 13" 2011 upgrade worked just fine.
    I had to restore my MacPro HD from my TimeMachine back up. Apparently, the Softraid raid drivers that I use on my MacPro are not compatible yet with 10.7.4. See here for more info:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120511_1-MacOSX-SoftRAID.html
    I contacted Softraid and they are already aware of the issues and are working with Apple for a fix.

  • Missing Recovery Partition and Unrecognized File Systems

    So, a long time ago I accidentally deleted my recovery partition and have recently been trying to fix it so that I can upgrade my OS to Mavericks. After browsing around here I found the Recovery Partition Creator 3.7 and used it to create a new recovery partition. Using the diskutil list command everything seemed to be fine and it looked like the partition was successfully created so I tried reinstalling OS X Lion by holding command R at startup. Doing so brought up the internet recovery menu and I selected reinstall Lion which was still unsuccessful because "a recovery partition could not be created". So, I decided to check in disk utility to see what might be wrong and I used the disk utility debug command in order to access disk utility's debug menu and show all the hidden partitions. Now, looking at these partitions I see two hidden partitions: disk0s1 which is an EFI partition, and disk0s3 which is the Apple Boot Partition that was created by Recovery Partition Creator 3.7. After verifying the partitions, disk utility is telling me that both my EFI and apple boot partitions have unrecognized file systems, my Macintosh HD partition is fine. At this point I do not know what to do.
    Below are photos of the diskutil list and of what disk utility is showing me for the two hidden partitions.
    For reference I am running OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) on a early 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro (Base Model).
    Bootrom version: MBP81.0047.B27
    SMC Version: 1.68f99
    Thank you all in advance for your help, feel free to ask me any questions.

    Just an update, I went ahead and installed Lion again over the existing TM restored installation using the Lion Update file and at least File Vault is working. Interestingly, I still do not have a Recover partition so obviously something new for Apple Support to learn.

    Have you tried to run the verify/repair permissions and verify/repair disk through the recovery disk? If that didn't work then I would reinstall the OS after backing up. If that still doesn't work I would take it in.

  • During Windows install, says the Bootcamp Windows partition is incorrect file system and won't install

    I had another Macbook Pro retina which I installed Windows 8 on with no problems via bootcamp.  I just updated to the late 2013 model of the Macbook Pro, and attempted to do the same thing but have had problems.  I create the partition for Windows with Bootcamp, restart the computer, and after I enter my security key in the Windows installation screen it comes to the screen where you have to select the appropriate installation drive.  When I select the drive I created for Windows, it says that it can't install due to the file system.  I have no idea why I'm having this problem because I had done this once before....I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong and I'm at a loss.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it...also let me know if there are differences from the early 2013 model and late 2013 model that would've created this problem.  Thanks!!
    Robert

    Well, here is what happened...
    Somehow in making a Windows partition then removing the partition so many times I created an error where it only showed 1/2 of my hard drive...like it was starting to create the second half for the windows side and ran into an error.
    So this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because what I had to do was go to "Command + R" when I was starting up and format the entire drive, all 500 gb.  This formatted the whole drive and must've erased whatever was causing the trouble.
    Of course, then I had to reinstall OS X, and reinstall my Time Machine backup, but then I opened bootcamp and created the Windows partition again.  This time, when I ran the EFI installer you were referring to on the far right (which I had tried before), it allowed me to click next and continue once I selected the Windows partition.  Thank God!  It must've fixed whatever file system error was hanging it up there every time....because it's installing now.
    What I would suggest if all else fails, just format the whole dang thing.  Then try from square one and see if you can install

  • Gummiboot error : file system is not a fat efi system partition (ESP)

    I am at the point the guide tells me to do some specific work because I got UEFI motherboard
    I did a fat 32 partition (type ef00) of 1G , which is my sda3
    I created a dir /mnt/boot
    I mounted the sda3 there
    I type pacman -S gummiboot
    result is File system /boot is not a fat efi system parttition file system
    error: command failed to execute correctly
    I don't get what I did wrong or what I understood wrong in the wiki. My partition is fat32, I try to install the bootloader gummiboot there but I take that error msg even if it's indeed formated as fat32.
    edit: i've run the pacstrap -i /mnt base , everything worked smoothly and fast.

    Hopefully you also say this line:
    gummiboot install wrote:Copied /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi to /boot/EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI.
    The \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi spot on the ESP is special. It is the "default" spot, which was originally intended to ensure that a UEFI USB flash drive, or other external media, would be able to boot.  So in those cases, there is obviously not going to be a firmware entry as there potentially are for internal devices.  So with external media, it finds the first ESP it can and automatically boots whatever is placed in that position.  After a while, this feature started to be implemented to the internal devices as well.
    This of course has its benefits, but also downsides.  It means that you can actually boot UEFI without making an efibootmgr entry at all.  You can instead set the machine to boot from the device (as though you were booting with the old MBR system) and have things set to UEFI.  It will then, like the external devices, find the first ESP and then boot the \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi, whatever that is. But this also has made it so that different installers will "compete" for that default spot. So although gummiboot copying itself to that spot is in my opinion, convenient, I believe the microsoft installer will also make an attempt to write over this as well.  Hence, it is better (but not essential) to have a firmware entry.
    As far as the efibootmgr mounting issue you had, it may be that the info is not in the beginners guide simply because of the recent changes to the efibootmgr binary.  See this section of the UEFI wiki page to understand what happened. Baiscally there is a new system in the kernel for EFI variables, and we have now switched fully.  But I also agree with jasonwryan here that it is also likely that there just simply has to be a balance between providing a nice up to date layout of the installation process in the beginners guide, while not totally regurgitating every single but of information from the rest of the wiki.

  • File System (formatting, partitioning)

    I have a question about the HFS+ (HFS Plus) file system...
    I recently purchased a 17 inch Macbook Pro along with a LaCie d2 Extreme External Hard Drive. I am dual-booting on my Macbook Pro using Bootcamp and want to be able to use the external hard drive in both work environments and also be able to access files from each OS. What would be the best and most reliable way to go about doing this.
    I was going to format the entire drive as FAT32 since both operating systems can write and read to this file system... but I wanted other opinions on this. Should I partition the drive and have an NTFS partition for Windows XP, a FAT32 partition for both OSes and an HFS+ partition for Mac OSX??
    All help is greatly appreciated.

    "So, if I understand correctly, Mac Drive would allow me to read and write to an HFS+ volume from both Windows XP and Mac OSX."
    Yes and no. MacDrive is a file system driver for Windows. Mac OS X supports HFS+ natively.
    "Therefore, I would not have to partition the drive at all and I could have the whole drive formatted as HFS+??"
    Nope. Windows XP needs a FAT32 or NTFS drive to boot from, MacDrive will be loaded during the boot process.
    "How does Mac Drive work... do I install it on XP?"
    Yep. After you installed it, you can see any HFS+ partition in the Windows Explorer as a separate drive.
    "Also, does it slow down the drive at all or require emulation or anything like that?"
    No.

  • How do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

    how do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

    I don't have good news. You will need to repartition and reformat the hard drive in order to determine if the drive is still OK or if it needs to be replaced. If your computer is a 2011 model or later do the following:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
    If your computer is pre-2011 model, then locate the original installer discs that came with the computer. Then do this:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now download a version of OS X from which to upgrade from your Purchases page in the App Store.
