Hi,

As I are using Oracle 8.1.7 we get a considerable amount of core dumps on our system filling up the disk space over a period of months. Eventually there is no space left which forces us to shutdown Oracle. Just removing the dumps does not release the space (because this is how UNIX works - or does someone know how to fix this?). So I was wondering if I can disable the core dumping function of oracle (probably not) or even send the dumps to dev/null. Anyone tried this??

I know it's a stupid idea to send the core dumps to dev/null. I don't really think I will do this it's more a theoretical question.

Thank,
Steve
