Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: EMC Not Releasing Space
In my opinion it is an Operating System issue. I have seen this under several different platforms. You just have to wait it out (or reboot).

Hi,
Just curious if anyone has any experience with an EMC Symmetrix not releasing the space for a deleted datafile. If so, is there a solution or work-around?
Yesterday, we took a tablespace offline, dropped it and then deleted the associated datafile. The file was 1G in size and today the space has still not been released as indicated by 'df -k'. According to another DBA here, they have seen this in the past and said bouncing the DB remedied the problem.
It sounds like the inodes are still in use by Oracle but I can't imagine why. I've worked with Symmetrix systems before and have never experienced this behavior. We are running 8.1.7.2 (64bit) on Solaris 2.8. Any suggestions?
As always, your feedback is appreciated.
