RE: DROP Chunk

Hi pierre pasted onstat -d output HITEN .S.BHAWSAR INFORMIX DBA -----Original Message----- From: Pierre de Rauglaudre [mailto:boite@acial.net] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 3:43 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: DROP Chunk Hi, We added some weeks ago - successfully, thanks to you all ! - a new chunk to a dbspace. We tried to drop this chunk using "onspaces" command but he said "no such chunk !" ... :-( It seems the corresponding file has been removed in between : is it possible to drop the chunk if no file behind it ? Should we re-create the file before ? Is this problem linked to the ontape problem (see bellow) ? Other question : do you know someone in Paris / France, Informix specialist, not too expensive, available next week, and able to train our people one or two days ? We have following problem with an ONTAPE command : 09:28:47 Who: Session(59, informix@timide, 21090, 1074113988) Thread(185, ontape, 4003ae7c, 1) 09:28:47 Action: init_archive()/cfe_add_chunk() 09:28:47 See Also: /tmp/af.b9252f 09:28:48 Process exited with return code 127: /bin/sh /bin/sh -c /usr/informix/log_full.sh 3 6 "Internal Subsystem failure: 'Archive'" "ISAM error: An error has occur 09:29:09 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 09:29:09 Assert Failed: WARNING!
