That's another route I could take, but… (please don't groan too much) the particular instance where I need this information is on Windows (was NOT my preference and was done primarily for as a cost benefit). I think I'll follow up with this or Mark's idea on how to get htat information out of a query. External tables it is!

Thanks, all!

We have cron job that does 'df -k' to a flat-file every hour or so (this can be tweaked).

That file can then be read as an external table and you can join to other dba_% views

If you are using ASM to manage your disks then yes there are a slew of ASM views that you can use like v$asm_diskgroup. See the Oracle version# Reference manual.

Hey folks,

I know there is the V$OSSTAT view where you can see the current state of the OS, but is there a view where you can see the state of the disk drives (as in capacity, % full or bytes used vs bytes total) from the db? I've got a feeling that there isn't, but I'd figured that I would check.

Thanks in advance!
