Greg, Thanks for your input. If I'm understanding you correctly, the two file systems reside on separate physical disks. So, if one filesystem gets trashed you will still the other. Am I right ? If that's the case, then this configuration is doable with a SAN. thanks. ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loughmiller, Greg" <Greg.Loughmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 2:14 PM Subject: RE: SAN and ORACLE > Ed - I'm not a SAN expert.
