Yesterday some oracle dbas made some adjustments to the oracle kernel on our alpha 8200(du 3.2c) They claim to have freed up over 2gigs of space in one of the partitions. When I do a df it shows that partition at 100% when I know there are actually 2 gigs available. When the adjustments were made to the oracle kernel, the system remained in multiuser mode though the databases were shutdown of course. Any hints would be summarized of course thanks Tom Thomas Wingard Unix System Administration 800-skytel 2 (pin)1580730 Tel: 978-952-1585 twingard@ascend.com ------------------------------------------------ 640K ought to be enough for anybody. -- Bill Gates, 1981
