Be aware that /opt/oracle cannot be used for ORACLE_BASE or ORACLE_HOME on
11.2 if using the Grid Infrastructure because (at least on 64-bit Linux,
presume on *nix other platforms too), Oracle 11.2 Grid Infrastructure puts a
set-uid binary in /opt/oracle by default.

root@dbhost# ls -lR /opt/oracle
/opt/oracle:
total 4
drwxr-x--- 2 root oinstall 4096 Apr 26 09:14 bin

/opt/oracle/bin:
total 2172
-rws--x--- 1 root oinstall 2216180 Apr 26 09:14 setasmgid
root@dbhost#

I don't know if that influenced this change from /opt/oracle to /u01 or not,
but it is an important consideration in this thread.
