Error: ORA-27072
Text: skgfdisp: I/O error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause: read/write/readv/writev system call returned error, additional
information indicates starting block number of I/O
Action: check errno
*** Important: The notes below are for experienced users - See
[NOTE:22080.1]
Explanation:
This error was introduced in Oracle8.
The error is raised in port specific code so the exact system calls
preceeding the error can vary between platforms. The error indicates
that a read or write call either:
a) returned an error
or
b) returned a value indicating that the number of bytes
read/written
does not match the number of bytes we asked to read/write
Hence the error number reported may or may not be meaningful.
If the read/write returned an error then the ERRNO reported corresponds
to the actual read/write call used. If the read/write returned a
different
number of bytes to that expected then ERRNO is just the left over error
from some previous system call and should be ignored.
Additional information is the first BLOCK NUMBER being read/written
in the named file.
Diagnosis:
1. 2Gb limits (or other limits) can cause this sort of error so check if
the filename reported in the corresponding error is a large file.
The block number in the additional information can help show if you
are close to this limit.
2. It is helpful to know the system call which caused the error so
exact version information is important. If the error is repeatable at
will then TRUSS or similar may help identify the call raising the
error.
3. Determine if the file/s are on raw devices / logical raw volumes or
file system files.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several known issues that can cause this error, plus it can be
a non-Oracle problem so it is important to collect all the information:
2Gb or not 2Gb - file limits in Oracle [NOTE:62427.1]
See the above article as an anchor point for 2Gb issues on various
platforms.
Eg: Solaris 2Gb issue [BUG:774252]
Backup of RAW controlfile [NOTE:60953.1]
