How fragmented is the file system. Oracle
needs contiguous free space to for it's next extents. open up ocfstool
and see what your contiguous free space looks like compared to what size
your next extent are.

We are running OCFS and have plenty of disk space. Is
there anything in specific I need to check in SGA?
"Out of Memory: Killed process"
errors on server running Oracle
Hola,
Every 5-6 days I'm getting "Out of Memory: Killed process" messages
on a Redhat AS 3 server running Oracle 9.20. These errors will occur
for a couple hours and will eventually lead to Oracle shutting down. The
load on the server did increase recently, but there's still 1.8GB memory
free on the system during these errors.
The box is running the smp kernel. Should I do something like increase
the stack size or use the hugemem kernel?
