That depends. OGS changed the spool handling so that the database is opened with the DB_PRIVATE flag, which is definitely not safe. See <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17276_01/html/api_reference/C/envopen.html#open_DB_PRIVATE>. You need the choice so that you can at least do live backups from other filesystems, as described in <http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/htmlman/htmlman5/bootstrap.html>, but that's only in the development version currently. -- Community Grid Engine: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
