system: sco unix 3.2.4.whatever db: informix online 5.03 usage: testing system Problem: system had recent disk problem. Reinstall started but no recent system backups could be located - at least not complete. root filesystem pieced backed together. Now missing cookedspace on secondary (/u) filesystem which contained test databases (loss of databases not a problem). How do I recreate the cookedspace? Was going to try using tbspaces utility to recreate chunk but not sure how to determine the 'offset' - is that offset in bytes from start of drive (ie if drive is 1 gb and root is 250Mb, is offset 250Mb?) I have to fix this over modem so i dont have access to any Informix manuals. ANy help appreciated.
