Not sure on the specific - but you *SHOULD* run a pro-forma RESIZE
<<filename>> * * * on all the hashed files you bring over to update the file
headers.

1. Run a consistency check on the SOURCE system (a dummy uvbackup for
instance) 
2. FTP/etc the files
3. RESIZE <<filename>> * * * (or real resize parms if you want)

Should be Ok then and can run a dummy uvbackup to check them on arrival....

BTW: UVFIXFILE is now EOL - please use FIXTOOL

Subject: [U2] uvfixfile & select lists

We are preparing to migrate from our old HP-UX system running UV 9.4 HP-UX
10.20 to our new system running UV 10.0.16 HP-UX 11i and are doing some file
consistency checks before migration.
We have noticed some bizarre behaviour when uvfixfile is running on a select
list of dynamic files.
We originally copied the 9.4 dynamic files over to the new system using tar.
Selecting some of these files and running uvfixfile against this select list
works as expected. When we create a new dynamic file under 10.0.16 and run
uvfixfile on that file by itself it works as expected. If a 10.0.16 file is
the FIRST one in the select list it also works OK. BUT if a 10.0.16 file is
other than the first file in the select list, uvfixfile aborts with "Invalid
separation of 0x0 encoded in header. Floating point exception." and stops
processing the list.
Anyone else noticed this peculiarity ?

BTW, if uvfixfile reports a problem such as 'file load discrepancy', is it
best to run uvfixfile -fix or resize * * * to fix these problems ?

Thanks,
