Hi DBA's, I have an installation of informix 9.40 FC1. Every time we run the nightly backup onbar -b -w , it adds three processes to the list of blocked processes in the O/S. Can anyone guide me towards troubleshooting this problem. The backup completes successfully. There are no errors in the online.log file or the bar_act.log file. The only problem, when I run a vmstat the number of processes in the blocked state increases by three. Any idea whats going on here? Any help is greatly appreciated! +Zombie
