Hello, Oracle 10.2.0.3 on SUSE Linux here.
Since yesterday, the archiver seem not to be able to archive logs
anymore. The database is set up to archive logs in the Flash Recovery
Area, /var/oracle/disk02/flash_recovery_area. The /var partition has
7.9G available and I am able to create a file in
/var/oracle/disk02/flash_recovery_area/ZEN1/archivelog/2008_06_17.
Here's my problem: after some database activity I am not able to connect
to the database anymore because I get this error:
ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.
I solved with this workaround:
alter system archive log all to '/tmp' ;
alter system archive log stop ;
But I would like to understand what happened, even if this is just a
development system.
Thank you. Kind regards, Yossarian
