RE: AIX and Informix

I'm sure we've got some AIX folk on this list who can confirm with newer versions but when I was nursing 4.3 boxen, the manual said that a signature was written to the LV and then again only when you ran a lv sync on it. I never tried. Got the hint, used an 8k offset. brett -----Original Message----- From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list-bounces@iiug.org]On Behalf Of Mark D.

I think once the LV is created, IDS overwrites the header info, and if you never fire up the LVM again you can run like that for years. It is only when an engineer arrives to fix something that he will fire up the LVM, which will "fix" the corrupt header. ;-) Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
