We had a similar problem with our master server ( rp4440) that backs up oracle databases. Found that the rman script *.rcv had the filesperset set too low ( we had turned it down from 20 to 5 for the archive logs), causing hundreds of backup images. This resulted in the disk I/O being high when the cleanup ran, and loads of bpdbm processes. John Rickus Storage Analyst Dofasco Inc. 905-548-7200 ext. 6004
