Use the fdisk utility to create a partition where you want to store your recovery
files.
For example:
sdc1 if your storage device is sdc
4 Verify the new partition by entering the following command:
cat /proc/partitions
If you do not detect the new partition, type:
sfdisk -R /dev/sdb
sfdisk -R /dev/sdc
5 Enter the following command:
mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1
mke2fs -j /dev/sdc1
6 Edit the /etc/fstab file for the newly created file system by adding entries
such as:
/dev/sdb1 /opt/oracle/oradata ext3 defaults 1 2
7
Enter the following command:
chown -R oracle.dba oradata recovery
/dev/sdc1 /opt/oracle/recovery ext3 defaults 1 2
8
Enter the following command:
mount /dev/sdb1 /opt/oracle/oradata
mount /dev/sdc1 /opt/oracle/recovery
