RE: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption
You can try doing a uvbackup on the file to /dev/null. When the file is backed up it checks the integrity of the file.

I see that fixtool will set an exclusive file lock when executing without any options. If I understand correctly, the -start and -stop options will scan the file setting group locks. Would it work to set -start to 1 and -stop to the last group in the file? If so, how do I tell what the last group of the file is?

RE: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption
I'm not sure how through it is but I've always found that just doing a COUNT on a file has shown when there's a problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 8:20 AM To: u2-Users Subject: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption Hi all, UV 10.1.8 What is the best way to verify the integrity of a file while users are accessing (if possible at all)?

RE: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption
A count misses many types of possible corruption. If you select the file, then do LIST FNAME LASTATTRIBUTE that will give you a better, though still incomplete, appraisal of a file's integrity.

Re: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption
I, too, am not sure how thorough it is, but I do a FILE.STAT (or ANALYZE.FILE). -- Regards, Clif On Sep 11, 2007, at 11:07 AM, Bob Woodward wrote: I'm not sure how through it is but I've always found that just doing a COUNT on a file has shown when there's a problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 8:20 AM To: u2-Users Subject: [U2] [UV] checking files for corruption Hi all, UV 10.1.8 What is the best way to verify the integrity of a file while users are accessing (if possible at all)?
