We are running SE 5.03 on SCO Openserver 5.0.0 using DPT disk controllers and RAID 0 implemented by the disk controller. On a regular basis system table index files are being so badly corrupted that even bcheck cannot repair them and they must be restored from a backup. Tables being corrupted are for example : systriggers, sysconstraints, sysdefaults. Has anybody experienced this before?? What was the cause / solution ?? Thanks for any help.
