If you have freed up the space and your archiver is STILL hung, read note 131427.1 on
MetaLink. This was my painful lesson.

After reading the other postings I better add this one too;^) (If ya didn't
learn something new today, it's because ya didn't do anything today).
ORA-00257, "archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed."

As Daffy Duck says -> http://www.dailywav.com/0700/dcorrect.wav
The archiver freaks first, and will keep trying to write/recover/looking
for space. But the database will not hang until all the redo logs are full
and none remain that have been archived (ie: all redo logs need archiving).
The error in the alert.log is some combination of:
ORA-00255, "error archiving log %s of thread %s, sequence # %s"
ORA-00270, "error creating archive log %s"
ORA-19504, "failed to create file \"%s\""
ORA-27040, "skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file"
ARCH: Archival stopped, error occurred. Will continue retrying
SVR4 Error: 5: I/O error
Why do I have a list of the above errors you ask? Because I've been there
(painful lessons learned), and these are just some of the errors I look for
in my db status script.

Hi Fellow DBAs,
I and a fellow DBA are currently debating about how insufficient space in
the archive destination freezes up the DB. He claims that as soon as the
ARCH process is unable to write to the disk, the db freezes. I am of the
opinion that it does not. It will only report an error (Any idea, what the
error code is?). It will only freeze when it cycles thru the rest of the
redolog groups, and then when it tries to switch log to the one which has
not been archived. That's why the error message is "cannot allocate new
log".
Whats your say? He's also on this list.
