Hello all,

I am experiencing a problem re-creating control file using Oracle 8i (8.1.6) under Linux RH 6.1. I am usaing the following create command :

create controlfile reuse
database SYST

LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('/home/oracle/syst/data/log1.log',


                 '/home/oracle/syst/data/redobck/log1.log') SIZE 1M REUSE,    

        GROUP 2 ('/home/oracle/syst/data/log2.log',


                 '/home/oracle/syst/data/redobck/log2.log') SIZE 1M REUSE

maxinstances 2 resetlogs;

The raised error is :

create controlfile reuse
*

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '?/dbs/dbs1@.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status

Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3

Does anymore know the reason ?

Thanks in advance
