Fast recovery problem

Topics: Storage & Space Management, Logging & Checkpoints
Hi, We did have database which was in nonloggin mode and checkpoint did hang. We shutted down the informix and started it up. When we started the informix, it did perform Fast Recovery. Last checkpoint was 14.8.2014(DMY) 03:00 and this happended 15.8.2014 17:49. So all that day data went missing. My question is, is the data somewhere? inside the chunks? can it be recovered? Other question is, we did have incremental backup L0 sunday, L1 monday L2 Tuesday L1 Wednesday, L2 Thursday L1 Friday. No That L1 is wery big about 1,7G where other L1 and L2 are about 200M. Is there any way to check what is inside that L1? We assume that there is that state after the Fast Recovery(all that day data missing), but the size of that L1 is interesting. That you wery much for helping me.
If the checkpoint was incomplete, then the dirty pages would only be in= the buffer. So if the checkpoint was incomplete, then I am afraid that the= data is lost. Why are you using a no logged database?

Hi, Problem was that in times among the logging was quite a slow compared to non logging(slow server and bad use of transactions(the developer sql)) and that's why we used unlogging. We do not have anymore unlogging, switched to nonbuffered logging :)
