Temat: [firebird-support] Gbak restore hangs on "activating and creating
deferred indexes"
Hi, We're trying to do a restore of a 40 GB database (FB 2.5.4 / Win 2008
Server) because it has reached its transaction limit. During our first restore
attempt it seemed to freeze after having restored all records and started
activating and creating deferred indexes.That is, the size of the restored file
was not changing for several hours and the last entry in the log file from gbak
ended in the middle of a sentence. We lost hope and cancelled the process,
which resulted in several more log entries of "activating and creating deferred
indexes" being written, but we got no error messages.The server had 20 GB of
available disk space left when the restore was hanging. Do you have any
suggestions to what the cause of this could be, or how we can identify the
cause? --Rune Bjønness
