64-bit 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 10 x86 When trying to export a single table, we get: ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number with name "" too small The table contains out of line LOBs using PCTVERSION of 10, however, these LOBs are never updated, so the PCTVERSION should not be the issue. [This has been proven through the MON_MODS$ table using the OBJECT_ID column of DBA_OBJECTS - see below] We have scanned this table per Oracle Note 452341.1 and there is no corruption. We have created a larger undo segment - from 1GB to 5GB. We set event 1555 to dump errorstack at level 3 and have the trace file. We have changed undo_retention from 900 to 21140 per v$undostat. The columns SSOLDERRCNT and NOSPACEERRCNT are 0. Furthermore, the columns UNXPSTEALCNT & EXPSTEALCNT are all 0 and the column MAXQUERYLEN was not over the setting of the undo_retention parameter (21140 - the high was 8069) during the export. The export fails at about 141009977344 bytes (5 runs, sometimes earlier with less bytes). The table is about 100M records and about 275GB. It's structure is: Name Null?

We can try to simulate load on this object, however this will be difficult if not impossible in test. Under insert, I would expect the internal LOB index to be updated - does this count against undo? If so, where is this undo stored - normal undo segments or internal to the LOB object (like the pctversion space)? Does expdp lock this undo to ensure consistency? TIA
