All, =20

I'm trying to restore a hotbackup (v7.1.3.2) on a partition with little = extra space. I cannot add space or modify much on this server, so I = placed the new version of the oracle hotbackup files on a separate = partition. =20

I need to delete the old .dbf file and copy in the new file. When I do = a 'rm' of the existing file, available space (df -k) does not change, so = the 'cp' of the new file fails. here's a snip:

# copy current database files that we just ftpd

rm /oracle/dbs/dbsA.dbf                   << this is the large file =

causing problems
wait
sync
cp /voice1/tmporacle/* /oracle/dbs
wait
rm /oracle/dbs/arch/arc_*.*
wait
mv /oracle/dbs/arch/archfrom58/* /oracle/dbs/arch wait
# restore database from fresh copy =20

sqldba <<EOF1>>$LGDEST                    << remember this?

connect internal
startup mount;
set autorecovery ON;
recover database;
alter database open;
EOF1 I tried a 'sync', 'mv' instead of 'cp' also fails. Any other ideas? Os = is unixware, -v 1.1.2, -r 4.2.

Thanks,
Mary
