Title: OFA (Optimal Flexible Architecture) in practice

Does anyone use OFA as their company standard?  If so, are there any complaints about it's structure?  For example, the commingling of different database subdirectories under a given mount point? 

e.g..

/u02/oradata/db_name1/userdata01.dbf
/u02/oradata/db_name2/userdata01.dbf
/u03/oradata/db_name1/userdata02.dbf
/u03/oradata/db_name2/userdata02.dbf

You cannot cd to a given subdirectory, ls -ltR | more to see all the datafiles associated with a given database.  Instead, from / you have to ls -ltR | grep db_name1 to scan the full file system.  Seems like there should be a better way. 

Any input, pro or con, is appreciated.

Thanks, Linda
