    deleted file size didn't update the available O.S. disk space

    SOLARIS 8
    ORACLE 8.1.6

    I have this weird scenario,
    I have drop a tablespace that is used by an RBS. I intend to recreate a bigger TABLESPACE for a bigger RBS.

    After I drop the tablespace, I issue
    the command in o.s.:
    rm RBSbig01.dbf

    the command was successful because it didn't feedback any error.
    but to my surprise, the 500M size of that file didn't reflect the AVAILABLE size as i issue a
    df -k

    it was still the same before I remove the datafile.

    Any experience of such kind guys, pls share, as again I am very much short of resource the only remaining file system that I can use is the one where ARCHiving resides?


    Thanks in advance.

    well I know in Tru64 or HP-UX it takes sometime to free the space at OS level however I am not aware of this behavious on Sun Solaris

    thanks for your response PANDO,
    If I can only restart the server itself to accomdodate my needs then I could have done it now, to confirm also your explanation.
    But the server is in 24X7, so may have to wait for a little while and hoping that HP-UX shares the same behaviour.

    In a way yes ,
    but I'm not sure if the behaviour is still the same with verion 9
    And yet, who among us will prefer using Windows in return to UNIX?

    You can pull a 34' camper with a Honda Civic. That doesn't make it the smart thing to do.
