It happened last night, probably after hotbackup. One of our system data file size increased from 1.9G to 2.8G on the o/s level. But dba_data_file still shows this file is 1.9G and has 50% space left.
There is no error in alert.log file or any dump file.
Right now the database is still running fine. Please advise whether this is an o/s issue or database issue.
We are using 8.1.7 on HP Unix 11i 9000.
I appreciate your help.
how about ask your HP-UX admin if his HP-UX 11i supports files > 2GB?
Please, anybody can help? Since it's the system data file, I am afraid once the database is shutdown for cold backup this weekend, it will not start again. Thank you.
Thank you, Pando. I am in the process of getting that answer from our SA. I suspect they did not. If they changed their configuration to support large files, is the data file size going to be correct automatically?
doubtful, never had this kind of problems so cant tell, go metalink and search
I checked dba_data_files again this morning. Magically now the file size agrees with the o/s display. Still wondering why...
Magic, huh.. :DQuote:
