This post is from our Oracle Apps (11i & R12) DBA Training here   where We help trainees to install 11i or R12 on VMware (Oracle Enterprise Linux) .  This is weekend only training over internet and next Apps DBA batch starting on 10 Jan 2010 , You can register for this course here

One of trainees asked us How to add additional Disk in Linux (OEL/Redhat) on VMware ?
Adding disk in Linux on VMware is 5 step process

1. Add Disk in VMware by selecting Add Hardware
2. Partition Disk in Linux using fdisk (partition type primary)
3. Create filesystem using mkfs (filesystem type ext3)
4. Create a directory and mount new partition in /etc/fstab file
5. Reboot and test that you can write to new filesystem
