Differ? On what? The effort required to get
to the fix? Maybe.
I've given up DBAing and sysadmining these boxes
unless there is an emergency. So I've sworn
no compiler or library upgrades, so I won't be
trying.
I almost did, though. And as I caught myself
type 'su', I realized it was a nono. Imagine,
as the Godlike sysadmin you are, there is one
power user. He hired YOU. And still has the
root passwords, but has sworn not to use them
unless he can't get a hold of you, and only for
production emergencies. You'd be REALLY unhappy
if he started upgrading chunks of the box, for
development, right?
I'll forward you message to my DBA and sysadmin,
but I'd really not want them to spend the time.
The new boxen that just showed up are the real targets,
(dual 2.4Ghz Xeons, yay!!!) and they will have 9.2 to
start with. If it still doesn't work, then they play.
But actually, I'm happy with my "fix", so I'd suggest
they ignore it. We have REAL work to do here.
I've also just reread your message, and realized
you told be to do it on a different RH version,
and relink from the installer from scratch. Yuk.
Any idea what version Dell is shipping nowadays
with their dual Xeons? I'd hate to reinstall,
with the vanilla kernel, since they do a bit
of patching so their raid controller and
hyperthreading work.
Also, on the Oracle $$ side. Yeah right! Why
would they give me any $$. Is there a bug fee
I'm unaware of? Unless there is real $$, I
don't have time or spare equipement at the
office. I could do it at home, but my cable
modem is too slow to duplicate the problem,
and I don't have Solaris server locally.
