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 <>$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 -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
