Ontape Restore error
Using IDS 9.20HC3 on an HP-UX 11.11 platform, w/ cooked files. I am trying to set up a development box and using a restore of our production box to populate the instance. The restore starts up just fine but near the end it fails. I am running it in the background using GNU screen so I can start it from home and resume it at work. The only error output I get is what is on the stdout when I resume the session: ----- 06:41:17 Results: Chunk is now unusable 06:41:17 Action: Repair and restore from mirror or archive 06:41:17 Action: Repair and restore from mirror or archive 06:41:17 stack trace for pid 13756 written to /usr4/tmp/af.436888c 06:41:17 Stack for thread: 78 physrecover 06:41:17 See Also: /usr4/tmp/af.436888c 06:41:17 See Also: /usr4/tmp/af.436888c crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000023 06:41:17 sh /usr/informix/etc/evidence.sh 1 0 /usr4/tmp/af.436888c 9 0x889b56d8 78 0x88f4a830 1025 0 0 0 0 06:41:17 ------------------ End of assertion failure 0 ----------------- 06:41:17 I/O write chunk 107, pagenum 19, pagecnt 32 --> errno = 2 06:41:17 Error 23 occurred executing /bin/sh /bin/sh -c /usr/informix/etc/no_log.sh 4 4 "Chunk is off-line, mirror is active: 107."

Is it a problem with using GNU screen? TIA. Kevin
The trace shows the write failed with errno 2 which is 'No such file or directory'. Looks like one or more of the chunk links either does not exist or points to a non-existent file/device. Art S.
