This is disturbing and clearly indicates that Oracle did not test this patch on VxFS, which is the most widely used filesystem. Another thing that I find amazing that this patch is still available for download. It should be immediately taken off from Metalink. ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Charles Schultz Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 3:51 PM To: Kevin Closson Cc: oracle-l Subject: Re: Good for a laugh - Oracle 10.2.0.3 does not work with Veritas FS Metalink 405825.1 Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.3 Oracle Server - Standard Edition - Version: 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.3 Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit) Oracle Database Server 10.2.0.3 Sun Solaris Operating System Veritas Filesystem Solution Until a patch for this bug is available, or 10.2.0.3 for Solaris is re-released, you should restore from backups made before the attempted upgrade.

Kinda makes me wonder what caused such a big problem.... Is this an example of "a butterfly flaps its wings in Asia, causing a hurricane in the West"?
