ontape -r keeps hanging in a "Fast Recovery"

Hi folks, After an restore with 'ontape -r' Informix keeps hanging in a "Fast Recovery (CKPT REQ)". I have modified the number of offline recover threads in the ONCONFIG file before trying the restore, but it does not seem to change the situation. onstat -p shows no activity but for usercpu and syscpu counters,which increment continously. I let the restore run for 24 hours, and nothing else happened. The restore is made in another machine, with exactly the same environment : Informix Dynamic Server 7.30.FC7 and Digital UNIX V4.0D. The hardware environment is exactly the same. Has anyone an idea of what is going on ? TIA for any help. Olmedo Monteverde PNI - Lausanne (Swtzerland) o.monteverde@naville-livre.ch

Hi, finally I found out was was wrong. Trying to get a screen copy of the restore, I tried the restore from my PC's terminal emulator, instead from the system console, and then the restore crashed : one of the chunks doesn't have the required dimension. That's funny, isn'it ? OM. Olmedo Monteverde <o.monteverde@naville-livre.ch> a écrit dans le message : 8ng6h9$60t$1@pollux.ip-plus.net...
