RE: DBWR process terminated - KCF:write/open error

Hi

I think this error has to do with the DBWR batch size limit. The value may be set too high.
The default is
db_files * db_file_simultaneous_writes / 2

To check the current value

select kviidsc,kviival from sys.x$kvii
where kviitag in ('kcbswc','kcbscc')
/

This will give you the size of your DBWR batch size limit. To lower this limit decrease the value for db_files or decrease db_file_simultaneous_writes in you initSID.ora.

If you set the DBWR batch size limit too high, on some relaeses of Oracle it is possible to generate batches larger than the maximum number of simultaneous asynchronous writes suported by the O/S. The writes would fail and messages would be sent to the alert log.

This could be the reason for the messages in your alert log.
