RE: Solaris 8 Question

If it's / or /tmp, then yes, your machine could well become unusable until it gets some free space. If your archive log disk fills, Oracle will refuse transactions until there is free space. Read the man page for 'quota' to help you limit the possibility of this. And think about switching autoextend off.

Cheers,

Hi all,

        A friend of mine is having a problem so I thought I would ask all of you
experts a quick question. On a Solaris 8 box running 8.1.7, if a partition
fills up, will it crash the box? I know that on NT this is very possible
depending on pagefile and what file is filling up the partition. But I don't know anything about Sun. Thanks alot:)
