Issue
- There have been reports of randomly occurring hangs/crashes of the oracle DB. Oracle team has found out the cause is that file(socket files) are getting delete from /var/tmp/.oracle.
- Oracle critical files are being deleted out of /tmp, how do we avoid that occurring?
- The databases /var/tmp/.oracle socket is being deleted after a couple of weeks. What is causing that, and how do we stop it?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
