Re: oninit -i refuses to work

My guess is that your logs are in your rootdbs and the space they require is larger than you have allocated. You can temporarily lower the values for PHYSDBS, LOGSIZE, and LOGFILES in your onconfig file to get the engine up again. These parameters control the size of the physical log, logical log size, and logical log count respectively. I hope that you are aware that oninit -i initializes your whole system! All data will be lost. -Bill > > We had an existing database and wanted to drop it. > We shut down the working database and took it offline. > > We just tried oninit -i and got the response > > oninit: Not enough room for ROOT dbspace. > Fatal error initializing shared memory.> > Why?
