If its 32 bit linux, there is likely to be a 4g OS limit on file size. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steeve Bisson Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 8:20 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Listener.log not been updated I am on Linux x86 OEL4 using Oracle 10.2.0.3. My listener.log is not been updated since the 30 May. cd /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/log [oracle@juk-prod log]$ ll total 4203424 -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 4294967428 May 30 21:49 listener.log If I do status in lsnrctl: Listener Parameter File /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora Listener Log File /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/log/listener.log Everything else seems fine. I connect to the database with no problem. Any idea why the listener would stop writing log? To solve the problem, I did the following in lsnrctl: SET LOG_FILE list.log Now I get information in list.log [oracle@juk-prod log]$ ll total 4222736 -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 4294967428 May 30 21:49 listener.log -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 511462 Sep 16 19:41 list.log Any idea why it would stop logging info once the log was at 4gig? I have 32GIG datafile on that machine. Is there a thresholds where oracle stop to log, so it is possible to vi the log? Anyone has documentation on this? Or a link on that subject?
