My /opt volume is close to being full, and I'm looking to make some
room. In my survey of the drive, I noticed several directories with
the following names:
/opt/ORACLE/app/oracle/product/8.0.4/dbs/core_XXXX where XXXX is some 4-digit or 5-digit number. Each of these directories seems to have a single file named "core" that's between 36MB and 106MB.
Are those part of Oracle, or are those core dumps I can delete?
Please no comments about how we need to upgrade to 9i. 8-)
