Client is suffering from chunks being marked down due to incorrect ownership and permissions on some of the chunks. Some meathead must have gone in and changed them. Will they be able to get the data back once this has been corrected? Any clues how? (It didn't work when I tried it on a temp dbspace, even after an IDS restart - I ended up dropping and re-creating the dbspace). They're on 7.31.UC5. Andy Kent

Once the underlying problem is corrected, you can use the onspaces utility to mark them back as online. At that time onspaces does a sanity check and if all is OK, you continue as before with no worries. -- Neil Truby t:01932 724027 Director m:07798 811708 Ardenta Limited e:neil.truby@ardenta.com "Andy Kent" <andykent.bristol1095@virgin.net> wrote in message news:ac5fb36.0405200536.10ceeac9@posting.google.com... > Client is suffering from chunks being marked down due to incorrect > ownership and permissions on some of the chunks.
