While that would be nice, I would submit that if using ASM, usage becomes 
solely a DBA problem.  From the OS level, as a system admin, I don't really 
care…I refer any questions back to the DBA.  They should have tools to deal 
with all that.

OTOH, with more things stacked on more servers (zones, etc.) I might care if 
there's a chance of whatever Oracle is doing affecting performance elsewhere.

Thoughts?
