Abnormal shutdown of Sol 2.6 and problems with Informix

Hi, I am experiencing this problem with informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UC3 in solaris 2.6. I had to go in for an abnormal reboot of my system and in the process I am getting the following errors for Informix. 1:18:36 Error: Unable to reset open files limit, must run as super-user 11:18:36 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/opt/resolve/thirdparty/informix/etc/log_full.sh' 11:18:45 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 11:18:45 Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UC3 Software SerialNumber AAC#J338699 11:18:47 Cannot Open Primary Chunk '/opt/resolve/data/db/ck_fr_5_000', errno = 24 11:18:47 Cannot Open Primary Chunk '/opt/resolve/data/db/ck_fr_6_000', errno = 24 11:18:47 Cannot Open Primary Chunk '/opt/resolve/data/db/ck_fr_7_000', errno = 24 11:18:48 Informix Dynamic Server Initialized -- Shared MemoryInitialized. 11:18:48 Physical Recovery Started. 11:18:48 I/O read chunk 6, pagenum 4, pagecnt 1 --> errno = 24 11:18:48 Assert Failed: Chunk 6 is being taken OFFLINE. ......................... ......................... 11:22:29 listener-thread: err = -951: oserr = 0: errstr = informix:Incorrect password or user informix is not known on the database server. My primary chunk got corrupted and unfortunately I did nt have an archive of the chunk. And after that it could not recognise the user. Is there a work around for this other than reinstallation? Thanks Manoj
