Creating A New File System on Exadata Compute Node
When the Exadata Database Machine is installed by Oracle ACS, you will see the following default file system created:
file system size or you can create a new file system.
In this article we will demonstrate how to create a new file system (named /u02) on Exadata Compute
node.
