1. Create one sub partition of /dev/sda


---------------------------------------

We can also add new disk in virtul box if needed


If its new disk it will be displayed as /dev/sdb
we need to create one partition like /dev/sdb1 in that case and use /dev/sdb1

[root@rac3 ~]# fdisk /dev/sda


Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).

Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource
busy.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
Syncing disks.
[root@rac3 ~]# partprobe <======================== make kernel aware about
newly created partition
[root@rac3 ~]#

2. Format it
-------------

[root@rac3 ~]# partprobe


[root@rac3 ~]# mkfs.xfs /dev/sda12

------------
3. Mount it
------------

Create directory for new mount point under /

mkdir /u009

mount /dev/sda12 /u009

-----------
4. Verify
-----------

[root@rac3 ~]# df -h /u009

[root@rac3 ~]#

-------------------------------------------------------
5. Make persistant after reboot by adding in /etc/fstab
--------------------------------------------------------

vi /etc/fstab

/dev/sda12 /u009 xfs defaults


0 0

---------------------------------------------
6. change ownership and permissions as needed
---------------------------------------------

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u009


chmod -R 775 /u009

[root@rac3 ~]# ls -ld /u009
