Hi all
One of databases (10.2.0.4) is filling up it's bdump, cdump and udump
directories, deleting the files does not free any space because the inode is
still being hold by many processes.
One way to free the space is killing the processes however pmon, smon are
holidng the files so killing them instance will sink. I wonder if there is
any better way to handle this? Or any way to prevent this happening (for
example instead of deleting echo /dev/null to the file? my experience with
this is that it does not work)
This is Linux x86-64
