We recently installed Oracle 11g onto and windows 2003 64 bit server with 8 gigs of memory. There were some hard crashes due to power outages and now Oracle is creating excessive TRC files in the directory: c:\app\diag\rdbms\twdb\twd
b\trace\. By excessive I mean over 40 gigs worth of these files.
What could be causing this? Can it be stopped? Do we need to re-install Oracle?
Below is a sample of the content in these TRC files.
