hi,Paul Drake i think you can . from oracle 8i, i had move the aud$ and the indexes to others tablespace, had no problem. many sys segments can not be move ,i think the reason is during DB startup oracle will *read* the segment header in the fixed datafile block. i had some test on it and trace the startup,bootstrap$ is the first eggs, then system rollback segment,CLUSTER C_OBJ#,INDEX I_OBJ#, table tab$....etc . It is interesting .
