List, Has anybody else experienced this problem on UNIX. We have seen this issue on two different servers, one running AIX 4.3.3 and the other running AIX 5.1L. Both have 8i 8.1.7 Ent Edition.
My sysadmin set the gid for the directory in which the Oracle datafiles reside. Something to do with an application we run. We then noticed that random files (datafiles, init.ora, alert.log, and a file named lkCOSINT7x) were being locked and Oracle would hang. The permissions looked like: -rw-r-S--- , oracle would just hang. It wouldn't mount or open. I went in and changed the gid back off. Everything worked fine then. It seemed to be totally random. Anybody ever seen this behavior?
