I've got a dbms_job that hangs. Tracing the job shows massive amounts of
write complete waits:

 

*** 2006-09-26 13:08:01.500

WAIT #5: nam='write complete waits' ela= 976709 p1=202 p2=55183 p3=0

WAIT #5: nam='write complete waits' ela= 986042 p1=202 p2=55183 p3=0

WAIT #5: nam='write complete waits' ela= 986163 p1=202 p2=55185 p3=0

WAIT #5: nam='write complete waits' ela= 986249 p1=202 p2=55185 p3=0

 

Now I thought that the p1 and p2 values pointed to the file# and block#
values. However, there is no file with an id of 202 in this database:

 

SQL>  select file# from file$;

 

     FILE#

        19

        20

 

20 rows selected.

 

What am I missing? And what could cause a process to wait for hours for
write complete waits
