Re[2]: How can I create DBSCAPES in 20GB RAW partition

Billy, You can't use an offset greater than 2gb. It will create ok but will give you problems later on (oncheck -pe I believe). It is in the manual Administrators Guide - Where is data stored - what is an offset.

Or am I consigned to using cooked spaces? No, you can use the OFFSET to make 10 DBspaces in the partition. In fact, I would advise that you rather make 10 chunks which you can allocate to dbspaces at will. chunk 1: offset 0 size 2GB chunk 2: offset 2GB size 2GB chunk 3: offset 4GB size 2GB chunk 4: offset 6GB size 2GB . . . chunk 9: offset 16GB size 2GB chunk 10: offset 18GB size 2GB HTH. -- /Ciao, \\Billy / \\Group Managing Director, The West Solutions Group: http://www.west.co.za / Chairman, South African Informix User Group: http://www.west.co.za/~saiug \\ Informix FAQ @ http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/faq_top.html / Drivel @ http://www.west.co.za/tasteless/ \\_______________________________________________________________________________ _________________
