Hi Leng
I think is not quite correct to state '...was never able to startup the
database again...' .
It is possible to startup the database having pointed audit_file_dest to
/dev/null.
The difficult part is to shut it down. It is possible to resolve the
problem linking temporary /dev/null to the any file system (example /tmp)
instead of ../devices/pseudo/...
With regards
