Hello all
I have a Sun soalris 5.8.
I need to install Oracle 9i on a different home directory since i already have 8i on the same box.
Can any one tell me how to check the disk space on that Sun box?...
Also do i need to have Admin Privileges for that box to check the space or just DBA privileges do ?...

Windows user i presume. You should not need root to run this command:
df -k
or df -k [partition_name] (df -k /usr)
for a particular partition.

So my question is " Is that space allocated to me or for all the people on that BOX?...

It depends on what permissions the user has. The /export/home directory is where most normal users are able to create files. So whatever slice that is under is the one most people will be using. -jim
