RE: Solaris 8 Question

Interesting, sort of the same thing that happens on NT. Anyway, I am not sure what is going on at their shop. Seemingly everything is running fine, DB, OS, DB in archive log mode, then when they shut it down to do a cold back up the machine takes a big crap on itself. I don't know anything about Sun Solaris or the hardware that they run on, but my guess is that it's an OS installation problem considering that it's a pretty fresh intall. KK

OK, if the partition hits 100% then nothing can get written to the disk. if it has something like /var/temp on it that's bad. but i've had them hit 100% with datafiles on them and the database keep going because of the way oracle writes out it's datafiles. not sure of the details, but it looks to the OS like it's a full file even if it has empty blocks in it.

if the disk doesn't have anything critical on it, the the box just gives out errors and keeps going.
