For sure you're using MSSM? Also you didn't mention if it's
basicfile/securefile and didn't mention what version of the database
you're on.

We had a nearly identical problem recently but we were basicfiles on
11.2 ASSM... so event 44951 (via doc 6376915.8 / doc 1476233.1 / bug
6376915) gave us a little bit of temporary relief. However the only
long-term solution proved to be physically reorganizing. FWIW though
we were able to redefine to securefiles and partitioning over a
weekend pretty easily without any downtime.

Hi:

We have a non-partitioned table with about 3.5TB lob segments.

The update rate on the table is high and it caused HW enqueue contention on
LOB segment. When the free blocks in the LOB segments exceeds the PCTVERSION
and high concurrent DMLs running on the table, we see HW contention.

The table will be decommissioned early next year, if we have a temporary
solution which can sustain until it's decommissioned, that would be
wonderful.

We can increase the PCTVERSION to higher number to prevent the HW
contention, but then the lob segment will increase too fast, about 80GB per
day. We don't have enough space to sustain until early next year.

We can rebuild the table as hash partitioned table which will resolve the
problem. But It needs a lot of time for a 3.5TB LOB rebuild. And we have
more than 20 databases which have the similar problem.

We are running on LMT, Manual Segment Space management tablespace, so shrink
space doesn't work for it.

Is there any other workaround?
