Re: Truncate Table Problem.

01562, 00000, "failed to extend rollback segment (id = %s)"

// *Cause: Failure occurred when trying to extent rollback segment
// *Action: This is normally followed by another error message that caused
//         the failure. Shutdown, restart and then take appropriate action for
//         the error the caused the failure. If starting up the system
//         again doesn't solve the problem, it is possible that there is
//         an active transaction in the rollback segment and the system
//         can't roll it back for some reasons. Check the trace file
//         generated by the PMON process for more information.

01628, 00000, "max # extents (%s) reached for rollback segment %s"

// *Cause:  Tried to extend rollback segment already at maxexents value
// *Action: If maxextents storage parameter less than system allowable max,
//          raise this value. Consider upping the pctincrease value as well.

I'd say you need to down-scale your load by issuing 'commits' more often, or increase the size of your rollback segments and then retry the operation. If I'm reading this correctly your 'truncate' is not failing, rather your reload is?
