SUMMARY: reclaiming space after rm'ing files

As several people indicated, the process still had the files--fd's
allocated.
Over the weekend we were able to bring the oracle instance down and the
space was immediately reclaimed.

One response which was real helpful pointed me to an infodoc with a
script which looks thru the /proc fs for any fd's with inums that no
longer exist.
Unfortunately the script was outdated & wouldn't work with vxvol/vxfs.
It req'd /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s#  when I get a few minutes I'd like to update
this script.

BTW the infodoc is 17509 (thanks Ilya)

Thanks to all who responded

dba took tablespace offline, then dropped table, removed datafile from
db and rm'd the file

however system did not reclaim the space.



I tried some lsof searching, but didn't find anything right away
