The best is to log in as single user, when you want to make file system related operations. Once you log in in Single user mode, 1.Mount the root file system ONLY. 2.Create the mount points on system /u01/oracle, or /u01/oradata 3.vi the /etc/fstab file 4.change the mount point to point to the location you define above 5.save the changes and shift to next runleve. eg. init 3 The system shold follow the normal boot sequence, and mount rest of the locations, and finally after processing all in runlevel 3 you login, and do another df -k to verify that your changes are correctly reflected.
