RE: Filesystem not freeing up space

Interesting. I wonder if one of the SAs ran one of those commands and that was what freed it up.

Thanks for the reply. (I did give the OS - Tru64 4.0f - see below)

Lee,

You don't say what OS you're using, but I had a similar situation when I was on AIX 4.2 running Oracle 7.3.4. For some reason, the inodes weren't properly updated after a reorg. If I ran a du, it updated the space statistics.

All,  

Oracle 8.0.5
Tru64 4.0f Patch Kit 3  

Last night, I was rebuilding a tablespace to free up about 12Gb of unused space. All the initial stuff went fine.  

Drop indexes
Drop tablespace
Remove OS files
Rebuild tablespace
Create indexes  

All of this went perfectly yet when I looked at the df output, as opposed to having 12Gb free I now have less space than I started with. I know inreality that this is not the case and that for some reason the OS is hanging onto something but I don't know what.  

I have done fuser and lsof commands, bounced the database but still no joy.  

I have seen this once before on an Oracle 7.3.4 database on Sequent Dynix and our only solution in the end was to bounce the server. This isn't really an option here.  

Any ideas  

TIA   Lee Robertson

You can use view dba_tab_modifications to get the number of inserts, updates and deletes for the table if you have alter table <table_name> monitoring. For selects you will need to use auditing.

I think utlbstat/utlestat only tell you what tablespace/datafile is active... unless your whole table is in that particular datafile, or else I don't think bstat/estat will tell you much.

Doesn't utlbstat/utlestat tell you what you need to know?

Does anyone have a sql script to share that shows table activity. I'm preparing to rebuild an instance and want to furthur balance the load by moving hot tables into new tablespaces.

TIA
