When using the oracle(81701) install on a xfs filesystem, the install fails
as it attempts to read/write state files.
Oracle installs readily on reiser and ext2 fs
Pertinent info:
linux-xfs (11 05 2001)
using lvm and xfs
parition is 4GB
info from installActions.log
Unable to read /oracle/oraInventory/Contents/CompsList0.ser. Some inventory
information may be lost.
Unable to read /oracle/oraInventory/Contents/PatchesList0.ser. Some inventory
information may be lost.
Miscellaneous problem
Unable to read /oracle/oraInventory/Contents/OracleHomesList.ser. Some
inventory information may be lost.
Unable to read /oracle/oraInventory/Contents/LibsList.ser. Some inventory
information may be lost.
The workaround is to install oracle on ext2 fs, and then cpio over to the xfs
fs.
