Marking the sector is another problem entirely. I'm not sure whether or not it can be done on a raw device. If you can't get a full explanation of what the output log data means, try calling Informix support. A cursory glance seems to indicate that you may have some corrupted data pages. Are you sure that you don't have any overlaps in your raw device boundaries? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
