Here is a fun one for you. If you set the log file to the dump file on you import it will of course wipe out your dump file. However, Oracle is nice enough to go ahead and tell you *after* it wipes out your dump file that setting your log file to your dump file is an invalid option!

I converted a bunch of tablespaces to LMT this weekend and noticed that they required about 10% more space than the DD managed. I did not change any of the settings other than using UNIFORM extents of 128K for the most part. Some of the tablespaces had very few objects so the slack on small objects did not account for the increase %. I am sure this has been covered but a quick search of Usenet and metalink didn't give me anything.

Thanks,
Ethan
