We investigate a class of 1/2-BPS bubbling geometries associated toorientifolds of type IIB string theory and thereby to excited states of theSO(N)/Sp(N) N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The geometries are incorrespondence with free fermions moving in a harmonic oscillator potential onthe half-line. Branes wrapped on torsion cycles of these geometries areidentified in the fermi fluid description. Besides being of intrinsic interest,these solutions may also occur as local geometries in flux compactificationswhere orientifold planes are present to ensure global charge cancellation. Wecomment on the extension of this procedure to M-theory orientifolds.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures. v2: few references adde
