I have a 17 gig Db (8.1.5) on a Sun box I'm trying to export, there is about 9 gig free space where I want to put it. Since most of my other exports are about 37% of the size of the database, I thought I'd have enough room by specifying 4 2gig .dmp files when exporting.

Trouble is I'm now getting a segmentation error before it gets through the first .dmp file, there is no error# reported or anything else in the log file.

I'm wondering if I might be better off to try a compressed export, which I think there are some scripts floating around out there to do this.

I'm also running the export from OEM, but can I point the location of the .dmp file(s) on my local NT machine that I'm running OEM on? Or would I have to do a share on the local drive, map it from the SUN box etc...

Just wondering what the best approach is for this.
