RE: Linux file locking question (semi-off topic)
Alright, I sent out a totally innocent question to the list and didn't get a single suggestion. I'm very disappointed in you people. So, let me say that I figured it out without your help. And I ain't saying what I did. So there. PPPHHT!!! -- Walt (my RAM disk is working great) Weaver Bozeman, Montana -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 10:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Okay, this doesn't have much to do with Oracle other than the fact that I have been assigned with figuring out why this problem is occurring. We have a live chat application on Linux that uses Tomcat to manage its java servlets. A log is written to by the java processes, and this log can get rather large. Problem is, these java processes keep some sort of a write lock on the log and we can't clear the log out. Using lsof, I can get a listing of the java processes holding a lock on the log. One such process looks like this: java 32180 root6w REG 48,1 186487009 18036 /usr/local/pkg/tomcat/tomcat-3.2.3/logs/servlet.log Bottom line is, how can I clear these write locks without killing the java processes? Somebody must know how. I couldn't possibly the first person on earth to encounter this problem.

We loaded sample data from one of our largest sites for our first "test" and everything worked fine even when we submitted a "report from hades" with a query that returns 2.2 million rows. (Don't ask!) For a first pass we put the redo on the RAM disk together with a tablespace dedicated to some particularly busy indexes.

"pounder", "hell bore." & "report from hades" sounds like an interesting place to work.

Aching for results, etc. -Original Message- Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L (Acually 4X10 is THE answer for us. Walt's on a 4X10-4-days-off weekend and is probably flying around somewhere as I write. We have a 4X10 schedule and we get to arrange the days to maximize our weekends. Hmmm... I was the one who made out the schedule so how is it that Walt got the 4 day weekend? Oh well, I get a 3 dayer for my B-Day next Friday.) ANYWAY... We got the RAM disk running just fine but we haven't developed any comparative benchmarks just yet. We have this home built utility and Walt used it to simulate 1,000 users doing stuff a couple of days ago. (The utility was called "pounder" but has been enhanced and renamed to "hell bore.") We loaded sample data from one of our largest sites for our first "test" and everything worked fine even when we submitted a "report from hades" with a query that returns 2.2 million rows. (Don't ask!) For a first pass we put the redo on the RAM disk together with a tablespace dedicated to some particularly busy indexes. Maybe we'll get some time to be more thorough about this and do some before and after comparisons but probably not... NUMBERS! We need numbers! Sigh... Will keep you advised on this.
