Sergei,
Do you get the same error each time?
Here is what I think is happening (please, gurus, correct me if I am
wrong). Your transaction needs to create a read consistent version of a
block to see if another transaction has modified the row you are interested
in modifying. Thus it needs to read the undo entry in the "R27" rollback
segment. However, this undo entry has been overwritten, so the ORA-1555
error is raised. This error lists the rbs that it needs to read, not the one
the transaction is currently using.
Another possibility is that delayed block cleanout from a previous
load/update is causing the problem. I know there is someone (Jonathan
Lewis?) who has great information on this topic, but I don't recall who it
is. As we say in the states, "Little help here?".

I am running 8.1.6 on solaris 2.8.
Before running a large update, I tried to set a specific rollback
segment by:
Set transaction use rollback segment RBIG20;
The transaction runs for a while and fails with:
ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 29 with name "R27"
too
Small
Any idea?
Thank you
Sergei
