next archive log file. It has to do this because you dont want to lose =
redo information.

eventually the directory that holds the logs filled. The database did =
not=20
crash though! (I thought that's how it worked?) The alert log has =
entries=20
showing ARCH trying to write to the filled directory, and failing, but no =
db=20
crash. I have copied the archived files off for now and freed up =
space--is=20
it safe to just restart the ARCH process? Once the process is restarted =

it continue to write to the file that it was archiving to when it failed? =
Or=20

Thanks,
