Goal
This is a clarification of the documentation for sizing the Block Change Tracking File.
Block Change Tracking is used to optimize incremental backups. A new file is introduced:

Changed blocks are tracked by the CTWR background process as redo is generated
Database backups automatically use the change tracking file. Sizing of this file is important, and even though you can use V$BLOCK_CHANGE_TRACKING view to monitor the usage, it may in some cases not be easy to change the size, ie when using raw devices.
