I'm running Oracle 11g EE 64bit on Solaris SPARC 10 for testing and developing purposes.
$ORACLE_SID=11g.

In directory /tmp I found some files I've never seen before:

oracle   dba         8192 Apr  1 20:47 .SHMDJOXSHM_EXT_0_11g_1
oracle   dba         8192 Apr  1 20:47 .SHMDJOXSHM_EXT_1_11g_1
oracle   dba         8192 Apr  1 20:47 .SHMDJOXSHM_EXT_2_11g_1
...
oracle   dba         8192 Apr  2 05:00 .SHMDJOXSHM_EXT_238_11g_1
oracle   dba         8192 Apr  2 05:00 .SHMDJOXSHM_EXT_239_11g_1
Some of these files were created on startup (April 1st), the other part on 5:00 the day after. No more files since then.

Any clue where they come from and how to avoid them in the future? Received on Wed Apr 08 2009 - 09:54:04 CDT
