We have Red Hat AS 2.1 - kernel 2.4.9-34 in a Compaq Proliant DL580 with 7GB of RAM and Oracle 9.0.2 i. Running the compress command after an oracle export tables, causes the error message "segmentation fault". We also try to run the compress command, just to a large table, without the export command, but it result in the same error. Follow the print screen whith the event log: Connected to: Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production Export done in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set About to export specified tables via Direct Path ...
