funny how my previous email seems to have been truncated where I put three dots [ie , "."] to
signifiy 3 lines.

Resend :

For a critical database where I want to be SURE that the file system has enough space for the
TempFile, I run a large
SELECT * FROM DBA_SOURCE
UNION
SELECT * FROM DBA_SOURCE
UNION
<a dot here>.
<another dot here>.
<and a third dot here, signifiying 3 lines>.

immediately after I startup the Instance [fortunately, the instance startup is supposed to be
only once in 1 or 2 years but has practically been once in 3 months].

Any comments on the following??

When creating index, got
ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error

apparently caused by

ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-01114: IO error writing block to file 121 (block # 149)
ORA-27063: skgfospo: number of bytes read/written is incorrect
Additional information: 16384
Additional information: 49152

which I determined was caused by attempted write to temp tablespace using a
tempfile. The tablespace was dropped and recreated, and all was well again.

What I think MIGHT have happened is the tablespace created weeks ago, but
not used. So it didn't grab any actual storage. In the mean time, some of
the storage might have been used by something else, but storage was
released. Now tempfile goes to grab some space, but filesystem is all
screwed up about what storage the tempfile should be grabbing.

Does this sound plausible?
Is there something else going on here?
Is this another one of those spiffy cool things in Oracle that are just
something else to go wrong and make life a bitch?

Note that the index create blew up immediately, so the original tempfile
never grabbed any space.
