Brian You have told Informxi to create a dbspace on 60Mb. Yet the initial contents of rootdbs in your ONCONFIG add up to 161Mb. It will not fit.

Yes I agree with Brian, you put something in the onconfig that required 161MB but you have defined the root dbs size 60MB that is not enought to cover all the requests. Check the PHYSFILE, LOGFILES LOGSIZE in the ONCONFIG file. If you need more help give us the full ONCONFIG. bye
