 * `docker logs` shows all the logs prefixed with log source (in the style of syslog).

 * Data and logs go to `/data`, so that `-v /data` could be used.
-* Mounts 50% of total memory to `/dev/shm` as shared memory. Oracle instance uses 40% of total memory. Can be changed in [entrypoint.sh](step2/entrypoint.sh) and [create_database.sh](step2/create_database.sh).

 ### Limitations and Bugs
-* `--privileged` option is required to mount /dev/shm to use Oracle's automatic memory management.
+* `--shm-size` option is required to mount /dev/shm to use Oracle's automatic memory management.
 * Database options and sample schemas installation through DBCA is a mystery. In this repo dbca is run with `-sampleSchema true` and [db_template.dbt](step2/db_template.dbt) contains this line `<option name="SAMPLE_SCHEMA" value="true"/>`, but nothing happens, the database is always created without sample schemas. Well, that's Oracle Database after 30+ years of development.
 
 ### License
 * This repo - [MIT License](LICENSE).
 * Oracle Database software - see [Database Licensing Information](http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBLIC/toc.htm).
 
 ### TODO
-* Remove `--privileged` and use `--shm-size` instead
 * use spfile
 * EM DBconsole
 * Archivelog mode option?
