Extents Overlap Problem

I have a problem I hope someone in the group could answer. Here goes.... I added a chunk to an existing dbspace yesterday morning. It looked like this. dbspace ind_idx1 pathname /d/ind_idx1.1 linked to /dev/rdsk/c4t1d0s3 My Unix Administrator gave me this raw device but did not check to see if the space was being used. (I know I should have checked it myself but was in a hurry). The space was being used by dbspace sec_idx1 pathname /d/sec_idx1 linked to /dev/rdsk/c4t1d0s3 When I tried to do a level 0 archive a received the following error: 04:33:52 Assert Failed: Page Check Error in cfe_add_chunk: bad chunk freelist page 04:33:52 Who: Session(5044, informix@aisg1, 6332, 453375304) Thread(19219504, ontape, 1b042198, 4) 04:33:52 Results: Possible inconsistencies in a Chunk Freelist page 04:33:52 Action: Run 'oncheck -ce' and/or restore affected DBSpace 04:33:52 See Also: /informix_tmp/af.44300eff, shmem.44300eff.0 After figuring out what the problem was I dropped the additional chunk that I added yesterday morning (ind_idx1.1)(It was empty). When I do an oncheck -ce I receive the following message ERROR: Extents overlap ERROR: Extents overlap There is only 1 index in the dbspace sec_idx1. I plan on dropping and rebuilding this index. My question is this.... 1) If I am correct in my assessment that this is the problem, then when I drop and rebuild the index will I be able to do an archive level 0 backup without an assert failed and will I get no more error messages in oncheck?
