MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE specifies the maximum size of trace files (excluding the alert file). Change this limit if you are concerned that trace files may use too much space. A numerical value for MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE specifies the maximum size in operating system blocks. A number followed by a "K" or "M" suffix specifies the file size in kilobytes or megabytes. The special value string UNLIMITED means that there is no upper limit on trace file size. Thus dump files can be as large as the operating system permits.
