Hi all,

we have to move a 135 GB Oracle 8.0.6 database from Solaris 7 to Linux. 
We tried a simple restore of the database files from the last offline 
backup (tape) as we did it many times between equal systems.

After creating the new control file on the target system the database 
could not be started, becaue Oracle thinks that the system data file 
isn't really a data file!

This means i have to do an export/import! I assume an export time of 
round about 10 hrs. Is there any easier way?

TIA

Reinhold Wagner
