Hi there!
After changing the UNDO tablespace of my Oracle 9i database from undotbs1 (with datafile undotbs01.dbf), because it has grown too big, to a newly created tablespace undotbs2 (with datafile undotbs2_1.dbf), the recovery manager RMAN fails backing up the whole database with the following error messages:

RMAN> backup database;

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 06/24/2004 20:32:26
ORA-19502: write error on file
"/mnt/oracle/Testbas2-Backups/TESTBAS2_0rfp5a5k_1_1", blockno 262017
(blocksize=8192)

ORA-27072: skgfdisp: I/O error
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 262016

I looked up the error messages:

        ORA-19502 write error on file "string", blockno string
(blocksize=string)

	Cause: Write error on output file.
	Action: Check the file.


	ORA-27072 skgfdisp: I/O error
	Cause: READ/WRITE/READV/WRITEV system call returned error, 	
	additional information indicates starting block number of I/O.
         Action: Check errno.

The mount point where the backup is written to resides on another host, but seems to work because a second instance running on the database server can be backed up without any problems. Does somebody has an idea what could be going wrong here? Thanx in advance,
