We are also on 6.2.5 and had this happen once. I agree, the archive log overflow area does not seem to work as advertised. I finally just deleted the archive logs in the overflow area after several backup.

But on all of them, we occasionally get a little bit of data overflowing into the Archive Overflow Log filesystem. I don't know why, because as far as I can tell the Archive Log filesystem has never been allowed to fill up. But anyway, it never empties out. Full database backups reliably free space in the Archive Log filesystem, but the Archive Overflow Log just gradually fills up. One of them is up to 20%, over a period of a year. I saw somewhere that it takes two full database backups, but there have been many dozens of full backups. Any idea how I can get the Archive Overflow Log to empty out?
