I don't understand your information, you're saying that we need a very clean hard disk to make Informix work, and I understand with this that Informix doesn't have a bad block rellocation schema and I think this is elemental. In other way, you said that if we set MIRROR=1 we'll be able to restart the system, but at what cost, doble disk space needed?? -- Juan Gabriel Ruiz Pinto Internet: jgabriel@mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx Soporte Equipos UNIX NeXT-mail: jgabriel@roxette.mty.itesm.mx Depto. de Tecnologia Computacional I.T.E.S.M.
