or:
$ ls -lL
crw-r----- 1oracle dba 43,0 Oct 22 15:04 dbfile
-rw-r--r-- 1oracle dba 10485760 Oct 22 15:04 .dbfile
If you specify the -a option to qiomkfile, an absolute path name (See “Using Absolute or
Relative Path Names” on page 168) is used so /database/dbfile points to
/database/.dbfile::cdev:vxfs:. To check the results, enter:
$ ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 104857600 Oct 22 15:05 .dbfile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 31 Oct 22 15:05 dbfile ->
/database/.dbfile::cdev:vxfs:
See the qiomkfile(1)manual page for more information.
