RE: Unix question

Hi,

Unix may still think that the files are locked by an Oracle process. First shutdown the database. Then kill any oracle processes that remain even after the shutdown.
If the free space still does not show up then a re-boot will be necessary.

Solaris 2.6, using Veritas

I am spending a lovely Sunday afternoon working on rearranging wasted space in
our largest database. I deleted a large number of files ~30 min ago and the
space does not show up as free in df. Does it take a while for this to happen?
If it's not going to free up the exact amount of space I am deleting in database
files this is a waste of my time !!!

Thanks
Lisa
