Ah yes, this morning our lab application has stopped working. Oh, well, 
the application itself is running just fine, but the Oracle DB behind it 
has stopped working. It claims it is unable to archive the online redo 
logs, and all the logs are now full.

This exact same thing happenes about a month ago. The reason? 
Unsufficient disk space.

Now, call me uncaring, but what the hell kind of server admin lets a 
mission-critical DB used by the whole company globally grind to a halt 
merely because it ran out of disk space?

Question: How much does an 80GB HD cost? How much does having 35 
scientists standing around unable to do any work cost?

Is it just me??
