RE: dbexport hanging

Sounds like you might be hitting your ULIMIT for file size... That one bit us on one of our first big dbexports at a previous job. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Paul Mosser DBA / Wells Fargo Bank mosserp@wellsfargo.com ---------- From: ilist Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 1997 3:47 PM To: informix-list Subject: dbexport hanging server : online ver 5.03 unix : Dinex PTX 2.1.6 When doing a 'dbexport -c -q -t /dev/rmt0 -b 16 -s 2097000 -f xxx DBNAME' the dbexport seems to start fine, however it seems to stop writting to the .imp and .out files but the tape looks like its court in a loop writting to tape. It was left like this for 4 hours before the job was killed. The interesting thing is that the .imp and .out files have the command "create unique index 'owner" and it ends there, it doesn't even finish the command. I hope someone can help Thanks Adam Sorati adams@sgen.com.au
