Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Resize datafile not releasing space at OS level
Hi,
We have an Oracle 10.2.0.1 database on RHAT4 test server and I resize
the file from 100G to 30G and operation is successful and I can see in
the dba_data_file it is showing now as 30G but on hard drive/
filesystem it is still showing 100G. So I assumed OS may release space
when other process needs it but it didn't happened and other process
failed for space reasons and also I rebooted the server but still no
effect.
What can be the possible reasoning for this behavior and how to reduce
the size at file system level.
select file_name,bytes from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='HS'; /data233/oradata/hs1.dbf 32212254720
-bash-3.00$ ls -lrt hs1*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 109521674240 Mar 9 15:49 hs1.dbf
Thanks
