Onconfig Tweak Problem

Informix 7.30.TC7 on WINNT Server I'm opening up here and exposing my lack of knowledge so go gently on me. I've been tweaking my onconfig file to enhance performance and today I see an warning error in my online log. "Physical Log size 20000 is too small. Physical Log overflows may occur during peak activity. Recommended minimum Physical Log size is 20 times maximum concurrent user threads." Ok, using onstat -u I see I have: 258 active, 384 total, 274 maximum concurrent Assuming this is where I find my maximum concurrent thread info, that would mean my PHYSFILE entry should be 5480 (or 5k) Here is my current settings. # Physical Log Configuration PHYSDBS rootdbs # Location (dbspace) of physical log PHYSFILE 20000 # Physical log file size (Kbytes) Now, nobody sucks at math more than me, so I could be wrong here, but isn't 20000(KBytes) larger than 5480 (bytes). Tell me where I err? ----------------------------------------------------------- Got questions? Get answers over the phone at Keen.com. Up to 100 minutes free! http://www.keen.com

"Physical Log size 20000 is too small. Physical Log overflows may occur during peak activity. Recommended minimum Physical Log size is 20 times maximum concurrent user threads." Ok, so sheerly by good luck, I guess, I changed my logical log size from 5000 to 10000. Guess what error message went away? So, what I want to know is how am I suppose to troubleshoot an error message that says one thing and the problem is another?
