File /db/db1.dbf shrunk by 59719680 bytes, padding with zeros
This message indicates that, First, the host found the file to be of a size
that did not agree with what it was expecting. This is a bad thing to begin
with. Second, Padding with Zeros means that it made up the rest of the space
that was missing with 0's.
For example, I'm expecting 10 bits of data from somewhere. I get the following:
1011
So, I make it
1011000000
So that I have my 10 bits.
As you can see, this is "problematic" at best. What if my original data was
supposed to be 0001011000? Now extrapolate out to gigabytes of data. Not a good
thing, ever.
