Recently we noticed that we were rapidly accumulating trace files. After looking through several Oracle pubs, that didn't help, I am asking someone here to give me a hand. The books say that a trace file is created when Oracle has a process that complete abnormally. It also says that it names the
file after the process id that had the error. Below is a copy of one of the trace files. They seem to appear in groups and on all the different instances that are running on this server. The server is a HP K410 w/ Oracle 8.0.4. The trace files are not just ora either, they also seem to be snp and others, but the internal portions are almost identical.

/opt/oracle8/rdbms/log/ora_4070.trc
Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release 8.0.4.0.0 - Production PL/SQL Release 8.0.4.0.0 - Production
ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle8
System name: HP-UX
Node name: Servername

Release: B.10.20
Version: A

Instance name: sid
Redo thread mounted by this instance: 0 <none> Oracle process number: 0
Unix process pid: 4070, image: oraclempeb File '/dev/async' not present : errno=2

Thanks for the help
