Re: Runaway Onarchive w/7.2 & AIX4.1.4

I was backing up to a file system on dasd nfs mounted from one of the other SP2 nodes. It was not immediately obvious to me which process in ps was Onarchive but there was a process under Informix which was in dbaccess using cpu of 115. As far as I know there were no other users on the machine so this could have been the archive.
