【翻譯自mos文章】在Oraclesoftware被安裝時,/dev/null0文件被創建。
在Oracle software 被安裝時, /dev/null0文件被創建。
參考原文：
File /dev/null0 Is Created After Installation Of Oracle Software (Doc ID 1322550.1)
適用於：
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.2.0.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
症狀：
由於安全原因，只有被許可的文件才能出現在/dev下.
1. on HP-IA
[celchp4]/refresh/home> ls -al /dev/ | grep null
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 3 0x000002 May 16 07:30 null
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Jul 1 2010 null0
[celchp4]/refresh/home> ll /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 3 0x000002 May 16 07:53 /dev/null
[celchp4]/refresh/home> ll /dev/null0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Jul 1 2010 /dev/null0
[celchp4]/refresh/home>
2. on IBM AIX
[celcaix4]/home/bugmnt> ls -al /dev/ | grep null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 2, 2 May 16 07:58 null
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Apr 08 2010 null0
crw------- 1 root system 7, 2 Jul 28 2009 sysdumpnull
[celcaix4]/home/bugmnt> ll /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 2, 2 May 16 07:58 /dev/null
[celcaix4]/home/bugmnt> ll /dev/null0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Apr 08 2010 /dev/null0
[celcaix4]/home/bugmnt>
3. on Oracle Solaris
[celcsol4]/home/bugmnt> ls -al /dev/ | grep null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 10 2010 dtremote -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 May 14 2008 null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Aug 31 2010 null0
[celcsol4]/home/bugmnt>
4. on Linux
grid@gcsst1:/dev> ls -al /dev/ | grep null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-02-24 03:06 null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-04-06 15:16 XOR -> null
grid@gcsst1:/dev>
變化：
Oracle 軟件被安裝
原因：
運行 root.sh 會生成 '/dev/null0'.
[pst4:/]# ls /dev/null*
/dev/null
[pst4:/]# /db01/oracle/product/10.2/db_2/root.sh
Running Oracle10 root.sh script...
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /db01/oracle/product/10.2/db_2
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]:
Entries will be added to the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
[pst4:/]# ls /dev/null*
/dev/null /dev/null0
[pst4:/]#
a. from root.sh script
#
# If LOG is not set, then send output to /dev/null
#
if [ "x${LOG}" = "x" -o "${LOG}" = "" ];then
LOG=/dev/null
else
$CP $LOG ${LOG}0 2>/dev/null
$ECHO "" > $LOG

解決方案：
忽略這個現象並刪除'/dev/null0' 這個文件，只要沒有進程使用這個文件（使用lsof 或者fuser 或者其他任何合適的工具來檢查 null0是否被進程在使用）
