we need to clone our production db to test db.test db is allready exists but it is very old. now we need to update test db to the current time
setup is like this
production : sun solaris 9,oracle 9i,
test: sun solaris 9,oracle9i
production db and test db are on different file system
production: datafiles are on /d1
logfiles and control files on /d2
test: everything is in /test mount poing

27 GB is nothing. I guess, a good portion of it would be indexes.
Export / Import will work.
Export the database.
Import only the tables. Import indexes seperately or
Recreate indexes in parallel (after you get the DDL).
STill if you are not comfortable, shutdown the production,just copy the files and use the traced control file (since both production and test are on same OS)
Search the forum for cold copy.
