OE11.3.3 on Windows 2008 Server - helping a customer with a third party db. Customer has a database and bi file on a single disk. The bi is a single fixed extent of 512 meg and a variable extent. Currently the variable extent is 1.4 gig. The disk has about 105 gig free out of 275 gig. The database machine is part of a VMWare configuration. At 11 this morning, the database went down. The DB.lg file said that there was no more space to write to the BI file. Just verifying that the total space for a BI can exceed 2 gig when you combine extents. If so, I assume that either a process consumed all of the now-free 105 gig or that VMWare lied and some other machine cause the disk space to be used. This is mystery #1. Then half an hour later, the database was back running again. The customer uses OE Explorer. As far as we can tell, no one restarted the db. The machine did not reboot and has an up-time of several days. I have little experience with Explorer so wanted to check that there is no auto-restart feature. Mystery #2. Sort of spooky on both accounts. Thoughts welcomed. Bob
