Thanks, I created a 128K LMT and things worked, however, there are still a ton of objects with a 2GB initial extent so I had to resort to getting the DDL using DDLWizard since I just wanted the objects in a small DB, this was an export with no rows. ________________________________ From: Christian Antognini [mailto:Christian.Antognini@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 3:36 AM To: Post, Ethan Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Weekend Crunch Help - Freelist Groups Ethan >ORA-03237: Initial Extent of specified size cannot be allocated in tablespace > >Running import from a 9.2.0.4 dump file into a 9.2.0.4 database with a 8k block size.

The freelist group blocks have to be allocated just after the segment header block in the *first* extent. Since in your case the extents have only 8 blocks, you cannot specify 10 freelists groups. You should either change the size of the extents or lower the number of freelist groups.
