Problems in rootdbs

Hi! We have some problems with Informix. We have three databases running in the same Informix server. It seems that the rootdbs chunk is bad. The database server can't start!! I've heard the only solution is to install again the software or init it again(inicializar??) (all the data will lost!!). Has anyone another solution or more information about the problem? I'm spanish and my english isn't very good. Sorry! * Sent from AltaVista http://www.altavista.com Where you can also find related Web Pages, Images, Audios, Videos, News, and Shopping.

What version ? On which platform? What does it mean "chunk is bad" ? Colud you send an onstat -d output ? What does it say in their message log file about why it can't start ? If the rootdbspace went DOWN the only thing you can do is to restore from an archive . virginia wrote: > Hi! > We have some problems with Informix.
