Locally-managed temp tablespace question

Message-ID: <F001.0051FF89.20021220090442@fatcity.com>


Oracle 8173 on Solaris 2.8:

bash-2.03$ pwd
/oracle/u02/oradata/YPD

bash-2.03$ df -k|grep /oracle/u02
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 70592505 45549803 22924927 67% /oracle/u02

bash-2.03$ ls -l templmt*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:40 templmt01.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt02.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt03.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt04.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2097160192 Dec 19 20:27 templmt05.dbf

bash-2.03$ rm templmt*

bash-2.03$ df -k|grep /oracle/u02
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 70592505 44244651 24230079 65% /oracle/u02

I thought I should get 10GB (2097160192 x 5) back, but instead I got only 1.3MB ( 24230079 - 22924927) released. Could someone explain? BTW, when I created the temp files (templmt0[1-5]) for locally-managed temp tablespace, I found they were created extremely fast, so I suspected that not real disk space were allocated. But the "ls -l" command still showed 10GB were allocated.

TIA. Guang Mei
