OS crash, it happened when the program tried to remove database file, which

once it tried to remove db files, the server reboot itself, and went into
maintenance mode..

it questions me is when I re-do db, it can write to hard drive without
problem, until try to delete those db files.

here is some messages I got.

Ya, I can boot from disk, so the boot block is okay.

the strange thing is every night during database refresh, the OS
crashed.. I need to look deeper.

The O/S SHOULD NEVER CRASH!!! If it does, IMHO it's a bug. If the database
is doing something like trying to write to disk space that does not
belong to it, the O/S is within its rights in preventing it from doing so.

If you have a Sun support contract, you should be getting in touch with
Sun about this problem. If this is a business critical system and you
DON'T
have a support contract, WHY DON'T YOU??????????

What are the symptoms of this "O/S Crash"?  What error messages
do you get?- Hide quoted text -

Get a backup and change that drive out. Look into your logs and I bet
you'll see that this has been happening for a while.
