Yall's I'm running a SunSolaris Server Version 2.6 with the Informix Workgroupserver. Actually I have a "rootdbs" on raw-device ln -s /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s6 /export/home/informix/dbspace/rootdbs and I want to add a dbspace for performanceoptimizing with ln -s /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5 /export/home/informix/dbspace/nextdbs1 Each case (onspaces -c -d nextdbs1 -p /export/home/informix/dbspace/nextdbs1 -o 0 -s 1880000 nor onmonitor) get the qualified message "The chunk '/export/home/informix/dbspace/nextdbs1' must have owner-ID and group-ID set to informix." I have checked this and the whole path and the rawdevice have the correct ID's! As a test, I have changed rootdbs and nextdbs1-entries to initialize the database. During initialisation (oninit -i) the ID's would be checked also. At the oninit -i the 'nextdbs1' is accepted!?!? lrwxrwxrwx 2 informix informix 45 Dec 27 13:00 c0t1d0s5 -> ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0:f,raw lrwxrwxrwx 2 informix informix 45 Dec 27 13:00 c0t1d0s6 -> ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0:g,raw ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 brw-rw---- 1 informix informix 32, 85 Dec 28 13:54 sd@b,0:f crw-rw---- 1 informix informix 32, 85 Dec 28 13:54 sd@b,0:f,raw brw-rw---- 1 informix informix 32, 86 Dec 27 13:23 sd@b,0:g crw-rw---- 1 informix informix 32, 86 Dec 27 13:23 sd@b,0:g,raw Where is my error? Any Idea is appreciated, Edward

May it have to do something with the fact that one symbolic link points to another symbolic link? I would try to do ln -s ...../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0:g,raw /export/home/informix/dbspace/nextdbs1 (linking "directly" from Informix to the device).
