by default, when creating the file system (ext3 I assume), 5% are
reserved for the root user. When running mke2fs (or mkfs.ext3) you can
change this with the '-m' command line switch and set the value to 1%,
which definitely makes sense for a 120G file system for oracle.

As a short term solution: with the tune2fs command you can change this
value too. 'tune2fs -m 1 /dev/XXXX' - so you will get some more space
available for the oracle user.

How do i add space to this partition ...pls refer me docs r steps to
do this ...


Is not that easy to manage. I would suggest taking a backup, doing a
repartitioning and restore the backup. Think of LVM as a way to handle
such problem with more ease in the future.
