RE: Waking SMON Not Doing Trick

Thanks, but if there wasn't enough space, then when I restarted it should have failed again, right? I expect what is happening is that by the time I get logged into the system and restart the rebuild index process, SMON finally got around to cleaning up the temp segments. That is why the index successfully rebuilds on the restart, but then an index later in the process fails.

please check whether your index tablespace has enough space for index rebuild. When oracle rebuilds index, it requires space to store both old
index and new index during the process.
