2. on IBM AIX

4. on Linux

Grid @ gcsst1:/dev> ls-al/dev/| grep null
Crw-rw-1 root 1, 3 null
Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 4 XOR-> null

Changes:
Oracle software installed

Cause:
Run root. sh to generate '/dev/null0 '.

[Pst4:/] # ls/dev/null *
/Dev/null
[Pst4:/] #/db01/oracle/products/10.2/db_2/root. sh
Running Oracle10 root. sh script...

The following environment variables are set:
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

Solution:
Ignore this phenomenon and delete the '/dev/null0' file, as long as no process uses this file (use lsof or fuser or any other appropriate tool to check whether null0 is being used by the process)
