ROOTOFFSET

onconfig.std value: 0
units: Kilobytes
range of values: Any value greater than or equal to 0
takes effect: When disk is initialized (destroys all data)
refer to: Allocating raw disk space on UNIX, in the chapter on managing disk space in the IBM Informix Administrator's Guide

ROOTOFFSET specifies the offset into an allocation of disk space (file, disk partition, or device) at which the initial chunk of the root dbspace begins.

UNIX Only

On some UNIX platforms, it is not valid to set ROOTOFFSET to 0. When this parameter is set incorrectly, you must reinitialize disk space and reload data to resume proper operation of the database server. Before you configure the database server, always check your machine notes file for information about proper settings.
