You mean this writing every 3 seconds is FIXED ? What for ?
What's it writing there ?

Anyway, some collegues (those who wrote the application) - unfortunately in Italy, while I'm in Germany - told me, that they don't seem to have this behaviour on their Oracle 8.1.6.3 installations (which they use for development only at the moment).

I'm really confused now. Can it be, they simply didn't realize this ? I only realized it, because the disk's are as loud to realize these frequent accesses and - being curious - checked it with FileMon.

Of course - a heavy loaded DB (or any server) will access its disks all the time.
It's just some "strange" feeling that this frequent and IMHO unnessessary access - shouldn't be normal.

Is this for security / recovery ?
