output "bdf" isn't correct

There is nothing stored in the filesystem. But there is a lack about 4GB ?!

Hi,

Hints:
Before mounting the file system ensures that mounting point directory are empty.
If you have used some .dbf file inside of this mounting point you must shutdown your Oracle instance to release used space.

Looks like a very big file system 524 Gigs
and there are some meta data space reservations
for every vxfs file systems say around 1% or slightly less than that.

However in your case it`s < 1 % ,4 Gigs.

This is pretty much expected behavior.

Thanks

oracle is not running at the moment. there are only a few folders without content.

at the production system I have the same size of filesystem, but there it's ok:

/dev/sap/lvsapdata1
524156928 523573856 578568 100% /oracle/SID/sapdata1


I remount all filesystems, but no way.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Please check if your file system is really free or is busy by any process:
#fuser -u /dev/vgsap/lvsapdata5

Hi,

Have you checked the current file system consistency by "fsck" command?

Rgds.

[centurion]

The filesystem is free..

root@de06s209 [/oracle/TF3]# fuser -u /dev/vgtf3/lvsapdata5
/dev/vgtf3/lvsapdata5:

[centurion]

fsck is working without errors

Hi,

How many space report "du -k" command?

Also please remember that your disk manager subsystem reserves several space for internal uses, metadata, etc.

Rgds.

[centurion]

the du -sk looks good:

8 /oracle/SID/sapdata5


About reservation/metadatas, see my entry above about our production system. There it's ok.
