Are you migrating from Windows, or from one of the proprietary UNIX's?
If the former (Windows), then there are good reasons to separate
binaries from database files, mainly having to do with growing log and
trace files possibly filling the file-system and impacting the database
(or OS, if you're only planning on one mount-point altogether).
If the latter (UNIX), what did you do on proprietary UNIX? And why
would you change?
Either way, would you consider using Oracle ASM?

We are migrating to Linux. We are planning on storing the Oracle binaries and datafiles on the same mount point. Should we rethink this and separate them. The mount point points to a SAN if that matters.
