RE: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread Fink, Dan

Which files were being reported in the ORA-01114s? Could you provide more
info as to the exact architecture of the db files and file system. For
example, is it a single file system and ALL database files (including redo
logs/archived logs/temp files/...) are stored on it. Are the control
files/dump files also stored there?

Re: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread Connor McDonald

Are you using tempfiles ?

Just a hypothesis:  Tempfiles are created sparse, so
you ask for 100M, but in reality only 1M might be
allocated.  As people sort, you actually start needing
the 100M and kapow!

RE: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

April - This is what I hear you saying:
  - The database was set up on a file system, and there was room to spare.
  - The file system ran out of space.
  - Don't know what occurred to take up space, there should have been
nothing.
  - The situation is fixed now. HOW??
If the above is true, I think your best bet may be to attempt to reproduce
the problem. But first, carefully measure everything, using something like
Unix's du -k command. I think that is the only way you will ever pin it
down. If you are essentially back to operating again, then get a snapshot
now.
  One thought that just occurred to me, is to check the timestamps. If
something changed in size, the timestamp may have changed. I don't believe
the Oracle datafiles are updated in a read-only situation. The control file
probably gets written to frequently.

Re: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread Tim Gorman

Probably due to tempfiles in your TEMPORARY tablespace...

Tempfiles are sparsely populated files (not certain if that is the correct
term).  That is, if you display them with the command ls -l, you'll see
them apparently consuming the full amount of space you specified when you
created them.  However, if you get the chance, try to perform a df -k
against the file-system in question before and after you ADD TEMPFILE and
you'll see that the space consumed within the file-system doesn't change.
Then, as sorting or global-temporary-table activity hits the TEMP
tablespace, you'll see changes in df -k...

In essence, there is a difference between the output displayed by ls -l
and df -k, and the df command is correct.  I'm not sure how the du
command reacts to all this...

Not really sure how to explain it, but I'm pretty that this is what you are
experiencing.  Rather annoying, isn't it?

RE: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

Anything reported in the system logs? 
Can you get the SAs to run the 'errpt' report to make sure there were no
disk related problems. 

Do the permissions on the mount point directory keep others away? 

Once I had a smart developer(and a newbie DBA), who pointed his vi
'directory' to one of the data files', since it had more empty space and was
set to 777 !!

Are you using tempfiles ?

Just a hypothesis:  Tempfiles are created sparse, so
you ask for 100M, but in reality only 1M might be
allocated.  As people sort, you actually start needing
the 100M and kapow!

RE: Space... confusion

2002-10-10 Thread April Wells

That is it EXACTLY... thank you.. it was created sparsely, du -ak gives what
df -k believes, but ls -al gives what Oracle thinks it is... Now if I can
just find the manual to research the logic behind why.

Okay... Oracle's answer was it can't happen, therefore it didn't happen and
it therefore won't happen again.

Thank you... so much.

Title: RE: Space... confusion





April,


2000M = 2097152000
2097168384 - 2097152000 = 16384 = 16K
2097156096 - 2097152000 = 4096 = 4K


OS size equal to ORACLE size plus 1 FS block.
Check FS blocksize.


Alex.
