Dear People,
We are running I-Online 7.10.UD1 on HP-UX 10.01 and recently encountered the following error/problems:

Could someone kindly explain the possible causes of the chunk to be inconsistent as we have
perform the oncheck a few days earlier before this incident. Furthermore, after restoration (and loss
of some data) the database is back to normal order. Additional preventive steps are also welcomed.
Thanks for helping.
