You need to go on a course, or RTFM a bit more, don't you?! The quantities given are in pages. Confusingly, the utilities you use to create the chunks require you specify the sizes in kbytes. -- Neil Truby t:01932 724027 Director m:07798 811708 Ardenta Limited e:neil.truby@ardenta.com "Geezer From The Freezer" <Geezer@Freezer.com> wrote in message news:3F3B930F.8D70E12A@Freezer.com... > > How big are the actual sizes supposed to be? > Doesn't say if it's bytes, KBytes or anything > > > Chunks > address chk/dbs offset size free bpages flags pathname > 17a2a790 2 1 0 1024000 967901 PO- /telelogic/DATA/DATA2 > 17a2b830 2 1 0 1024000 0 MO- /informix/rootdbs2.mir > 17a2b3d0 16 2 0 250000 3 PO- /informix/disk2-a-5 > 17a53710 16 2 0 250000 0 MO- /informix/disk2-b-5
