RE: Something is filling up my /oracle file system - URGENT

Try this:
cd /oracle
du -sk *|sort -n
cd to the largest one, repeat until you find where most of the space is going.....

Manjula,

Give us the IP address and the Aix user account and we can log in and
check it out.

Seriously, are Archivelog files being generated?  Look in the
rdbms/audit directory - for every sys connection, an audit file is
created.  Is the Bdump & Udump directory in this mount point?  Are trace
files being created here?  Are Rman backups being created?

Only you can look in the mount point and see what's happening.  Tough
for us to help.

Tom

Subject: Something is filling up my /oracle file system - URGENT

Hi all:

Something is chewing up the space in /oracle filesystem (AIX). I have
trimmed all the log files I could find. No sooner do I free up the space
than it gets used up.

Can you help me find what is writing to this file system?

Thanks,

Manjula
