Posted in 1994
Hi Fellow Informixers, this may be in the FAQ - but I don't have it at hand right now, so please excuse my posting this here: Last week, while I was on vacation, the following error message was written into the online.log file: 14.26:43 bfcheck: bad page: pg_flags 0 != type 2, userp = 110020b8, pid = 16250, uid = 108 14.26:43 buffer header: 14.26:43 110c9348: 00000000 00000000 00000000 1105600c ........ ......`. 14.26:43 110c9358: 1105600c 110b4788 110b8748 00030000 ..`...G. ...H.... 14.26:43 110c9368: 0b0f0000 0010009d 11a54800 00000000 ........ ..H..... 14.26:43 110c9378: 00000000 00010000 110d4db8 01000000 ........ ..M..... 14.26:43 page header: 14.26:43 11a54800: 0010009d 002607b8 00000000 001807e4 .....&.. ........ 14.26:43 11a54810: 00000000 00000000 ........ 14.26:43 slot table and stamp: 14.26:43 11a54ffc: 002607b8 .&.. 14.26:43 tblspace header error: 14.26:43 1103413c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103414c: 00010000 01000090 0010009d 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103415c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103416c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103417c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103418c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103419c: 00000000 00000000 0100008e 0061000a ........ .....a.. 14.26:43 110341ac: 00150000 00000001 2ea27b84 00000001 ........ ..{..... 14.26:43 110341bc: 00000008 00000008 00000008 00000002 ........ ........ 14.26:43 110341cc: 00000000 ffffffff 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 110341dc: 00000000 0010928f 00000008 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 110341ec: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 110341fc: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103420c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103421c: 00000008 00000000 00000000 00000000 ........ ........ 14.26:43 1103422c: 00000000 11053334 002607e5 00000000 ......34 .&...... 14.26:43 1103423c: 110542d4 ..B. 14.26:43 -- WARNING: Fail Consistency Check -- pthdrpage:ptalloc:bad partn page -- pid=16250 user=108 us=110020b8 This is repeated a couple of times. I didn't hear of any troubles the particular user had at that time, and tbcheck -cID didn't show any errors. Do I have to worry or is it not worth while losing sleep over this?
