Lonni -> Thank you, you help me a lot. I'll see and test your suggestions. But RH 7.1 was certified by oracle on Oracle 8i, it's why we choose it, and all is OK on Siemens Primergy for little databases.
Rick -> We sell specifics products on Microsoft System with SQL Server. My job is to create new distributions based on Linux and Oracle. I may construct a standard fixed base distribution for defined configurations. The database size depends of our future customers. I forgot to say I use Smart Array controlers with RAID 1 or RAID 5. The 18 Gb disk is a sample. I put a mail on OTN forum (JVM) but I had no response. I don't understand your question on permissions.
