Oracle Linux as guest on VBox. partitioning issue

Post by SLellab »

Hi,

I have installed ORACLE LINUX 6.3 guest on VirtualBox. I chose 100gb for disk space.
But when actually guest OS is created and checked with fdisk -l
I can see hda1/hda2 etc and space is divided into 50gb/50gb. what is this and why is this happening.
Now i want to install oracle ebs on it and when i create a folder like /u01/oracle folders. Its running out of memory as it needs 60 gb minimum memory.
then i reinstalled the software with 150gb space. again its divided it into 50gb/10gb/90gb hda1/hda2/hda3.
how to access these hda3 and how can i install ebs on hda3.
Sorry if i am asking foolish questions as i am very new to this linux os. I am really confused whatz happening. Please help

Cheers
Suresh

This has to do with how you install the OS and nothing to do with Virtualbox.

The questions you are asking should be going to the Oracle Discussion forum. https://forums.oracle.com/forums/main.j ... egoryID=84
