Yes, this weird sizing with Tempfile...strange isn't it...  ls shows
accurately..

 On HPUX  the bdf  (or df in your case) doesn't register the 
 full size that is indicated what is supposed to be used by the tempfile.
 We haven't found a solution for this yet.. we cant wait till a directory
 fills and someone puts a datafile in the directory so the tempfile is
 reduced. Apparently I have been told by others that only space will 
 shrink and you wont corrupt the files... but I dont like it.
 I just updated my scripts to show the tempfiles separately so 
 I have a warning before I do any space change in the middle of the night.

 Note: I think although rm'ing the files..it seems to take unix a while to
catch
       up and report its gone... I have had that several times.

       It creates fast..which is nice...since you have to do it manually if
you
       do a restore with RMAN. A nice gotcha.

Oracle 8173 on Solaris 2.8:

bash-2.03$ pwd
/oracle/u02/oradata/YPD

bash-2.03$ df -k|grep /oracle/u02
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0    70592505 45549803 22924927    67%    /oracle/u02

bash-2.03$ ls -l templmt*
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:40 templmt01.dbf
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt02.dbf
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt03.dbf
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt04.dbf
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt05.dbf

bash-2.03$ rm templmt*

bash-2.03$ df -k|grep /oracle/u02
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0    70592505 44244651 24230079    65%    /oracle/u02

I thought I should get 10GB (2097160192 x 5) back, but instead I got only 
1.3MB  ( 24230079 - 22924927)  released. Could someone explain? BTW, when I 
created the temp files (templmt0[1-5]) for locally-managed temp tablespace, 
I found they were created extremely fast, so I suspected that not real disk 
space were allocated. But the "ls -l" command still showed 10GB were 
allocated.

TIA.
