Don't ask me how it happened, but I just noticed that my tmp directory on one
of our Oracle DB Servers is not linked to the /usr filesystem as desired.
I need the additional tmp space for an upcoming install and wouldn't be a
big deal to cpio over everyhting, but... I noticed that cpio can't copy the
socket files under the /tmp/.oracle directory. I am assuming that these sockets
are created when the listener (tnslsnr) is started. It appears that the old sockets
are never removed as well. My question is:
Is my best plan to stop the listener, shut down the Oracle instance, remove the
socket files, cpio over everything in /tmp to /usr/tmp, create the symbolic link
for /tmp and then bring up the Oracle instance/listener?
I thought I had better check for "gotchas" before doing this.
P.S. The socket filenames are in the order of: s#1234.1
Thanks,
