I am testing Oracle in OpenVZ with CentOS 4.3
In the dbconsole I get the errors:
Error: /proc/swaps: No such file or directory
Error: /proc/partitions: No such file or directory
It is possible to simulate these special files?

Thanks
Jose

sure, it is possible to simulate them, but I will better ask our guys how to correctly configure Oracle as they were successfully running it inside VPS. I will give you to know tomorrow.

There's no way to add these file into running kernel - we need to make a separate patch and rebuold the kernel. As far as dbcosole is concerned - we didn't run it in VPSs yet.

If you know how tune oracle not to use these file, please, let us know. We'll try to find this out ourselves also. Otherwise we'll add these files to VPS proc with some reasonable content.

AFAIR, these errors are not fatal. Oracle still runs without them.
