: part of your disk doubler, it has to remain whole.

and... if this file IS trashed, just reinstall the RDBMS (just the software - no need to re-create your db). That'll prompt you for the DBA Authorization password, create a new _$ORA$_ file, and you should be on your way. About the squashing - i don't think Oracle supports using compressed disks, but i know people who are using them with no problems. But if nothing else works, i'd try seeing if it works on an uncompressed drive.
