Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: was RE: core_dump_dest = /dev/null? --> audit_file_dest
Isn't it bad to write to /dev/null? I thought /dev/null was just an empty
file that you used to copy over other files (i.e. cp /dev/null
/home/luser/big_file.txt).
If you attempt to write to /dev/null it will still take up hard drive space (I think).
Maybe set your core dump to a specific directory as you are supposed to and then have the cron rm the dir and then recreate it.
