My database was running archive log mode and all the sudden it stop archiving. Below is the errors on archiving.

ARC2: i/o error 19502 archiving log 4 to 'I:PRODDW\ARCHIVE\ARC49549.001'
ARC2: Archiving not possible: error exceed
ARC2: Failed to archive log# 4 seq # 49549

at some point later, I found out from this message.

Archiver process Freed from errors. no longer stopped


Why did archiver stop achived ??? and why it freed from errors ??? and start working again.


Could someone tell me why ???

I am running 8.1.6 on windows 2000

thanks
