It may only SEEM to hang. It seems that some smart guy in development
noticed that oncheck was not checking the log file records like it was
spec'd out to, so he/she fixed it in 7.24. Well if you have 72 log
files at 100MB each, as I do, it can take over an hour and a half to
complete the logfile checks and get on with printing out the rest of
the reserved pages when running a simple oncheck -pr! This was UNFIXED
in 7.30 and a new option to check log records was added.
You know if you are getting this if after 15->20 minutes one or two log
file reports printout and then the oncheck seems to hang again.
