Adding a Chunk with onspaces

I assume the /diskslice/chunkname is a symbolic link to some real device name (that's what it should be anyway). Are you sure that underlying device has the requisit owner and group set to informix? Another issue is that if your root dbspace keeps filling up it seems to me there is something wrong in your setup. I wouldn't ever let much if anything reside in that dbspace. Is it temporary data or a real database that fills it up? If it's temporary data you need to set the appropriate variables in your onconfig file and/or in you users environement. If it's a database you should export it, drop it and import it into another dbspace. If it for some reason is too hard to export and reimport the database you should at least move all tables to another dbspace. You may use "alter fragment on tablename init in dbspacename" for that if your version is new enough to support it.

I'm trying to add a chunk to my existing roodbs as it keeps filling up, so I want another 1gb chunk. created the disk slice touched the file inside the slice chmod 660 chown informix chgrp informix onspaces -a rootdbs -p /diskslice/chunkname -o 0 -s 1000000 Problem is it always says 'The Chunk "/diskslice/chunkname" must have owner-ID and group-ID set to informix. Which it ~*%$'$^$%" IS! Anyone kind enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong here Ta Mike

Don't worry - I had oninit incorrectly set should be 6754(-rwsr-sr--), owner: root, group: informix Thanks to Art Kagel :-) in Sept 1998 for the solution Mike Bradbeer wrote in message <922892038.8513.0.nnrp-04.c1ed9731@news.demon.co.uk>... >I'm trying to add a chunk to my existing roodbs as it keeps filling up, so I >want another 1gb chunk. >onspaces -a rootdbs -p /diskslice/chunkname -o 0 -s 1000000> >Problem is it always says 'The Chunk "/diskslice/chunkname" must have >owner-ID and group-ID set to informix. > > >
