I had the same thing happen in a DB I inherited. Turns out the PCTINCREASE was set to 50%! I set optimal and tried to shrink, but extents were located throughout. The only thing I could do was drop the tablespace and recreate it and all the rollback (undo) segments.

I have recently installed Standard Engine 9.2 on AIX 5.2 and notice that the undotbs01.dbf file just keeps on growing. It is now over 1 GB.

What could be the reason for this? Can I limit it's size and would this cause a problem too?
