If it's / or /tmp, then yes, your machine could well become unusable until it gets some free space. If your archive log disk fills, Oracle will refuse transactions until there is free space. Read the man page for 'quota' to help you limit the possibility of this. And think about switching

It depends. If a root partition fills up then it could crash the box. Otherwise, if it's for the database, it might crash the database depends on what's on that partition. HTH Richard Ji -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 11:55 AM To: Multiple recipients of
