Hi Ralph,

that's rather odd behaviour of oracle.

I hooked oracle to the copied file.
I deleted the old datafile with rm.
(no errors in alert.log ;-)

Then I tried to umount the disk that
held the datafile before and now was empty and NO, I was not on that disk.
Solaris told me: cannot umount, disk is busy :-(

had to use "umount -f" to get my job done.

Is this a bug or a feature ?

have fun
