Re: Error while starting IDS

Hi RoB, I send the output from oncheck -pr as PM because it's a bit too big for the list.

Could your "dd" command have truncated the content of the device /informix/T40/sapdata/physdev2/data859? I've heard that can happen on certain OSs and some version of dd. Is there no entry in the online.log with further information? The last chunk you added (Chunk number 82) is located on the affected device and it belongs to the physdbs where the physical log is located so it's definately a critical chunk. When was the chunk added? Did you change anything in the onconfig file regarding the physical log (PHYSDBS, PHYSFILE)? I'd recommend you log a call with tech support about this. The relevant parts of oncheck -pr: ... PHYSDBS physdbs PHYSFILE 200000 (k) ...
