Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> disk space still used after archive files deleted
We recently upgraded an SAP database server from
HPUX 10.20 to 11.0 and Oracle 8.0.4.3 to 8.0.5.1.
Since that time we notice that our archive
directory keeps filling. Even though the archive
files are removed after backups, the HP_UX "bdf"
output reports the space as still in use ("du"
reports it correctly) HP tells us that an Oracle
process must be accessing the files at the time of
deletion so the filesystem sees the data blocks as
still in use and that this is "not a bug - just
the way it works" our question is why wasn't this
happening before the upgrade?
