mkdir /u01
Run fdisk -l to get the partition for external disk
mount /dev/sdc2 -t ext3 /u01
cd /u01
mkdir /oracle
Permissions are given oracle and applmgr so that they can write to /u01/oracle
chgrp dba /u01/oracle
chmod g+w /u01/oracle
Note: Please check whether oracle and applmgr are able to write to /u01/oracle
su oracle
cd /u01/oracle
touch test.file
rm test.file
su applmgr
cd /u01oracle
touch test.file
rm test.file
