Your comments about NFS mounted chunks is nonsequitor since Informix will not work with NFS mounted chunks on ANY system. Indeed onspaces checks to determine if the chunk being added is on an NFS device and will refuse to use it. Ideally Informix wants RAW devices and apparently these are becoming a supported feature of newer Linux kernels and can be patched into most 2.2.x kernels. Art S.
