Here is something to try to repair the file ---

Move the  resizea00355  file to somewhere else and keep it for awhile.

With no users accessing the file run the UniVerse filepeek executable.  Open
a DOS command window and cd to the AR directory.  Figure out where your uv
account is and enter the pathname to uv followed by "\bin\filepeek HIST".
You will see some information about the file.  Enter RCL which will clear
the active resize bits that were left set by the aborted resize.

I'm assuming that you have already killed the resize process.  If not, I
would look for locks using "LIST.READU EVERY" and clear any locks that might
be involved.  If the resize is still hung, use task manager to kill the
process prior to the filepeek step.

Be very careful with filepeek!

Hope this helps!

Subject: [U2] UV/NT resize failed - any way to put this file back together?

was trying to resize a file on universe/NT and the process obviously got
hosed up. it ran for upwards of three hours before we gave up on it.

it is one of those blasted files with multiple data sections.

so, we have the files
AR
and
AR,HIST

i was trying to resize AR,HIST. active users where accessing only the AR
file itself, so i thought i could get by with resizing AR,HIST while others
where online. it looks like it started to work, but should have completed in
a matter of minutes based on past experience, so it did get hung up for some
reason.

if i display the files in the directory - i see the following:

11/30/04  03:10p        <DIR>          .
11/30/04  03:10p        <DIR>          ..
11/30/04  03:05p             2,569,728 AR
11/30/04  03:05p             5,343,232 HIST
11/30/04  03:10p             4,093,440 resizea00355
               5 File(s)     12,006,400 bytes
                            619,339,264 bytes free


so, it looks like *maybe* the data for the HIST section and this temp
resizea00355 file might actually have the data, but when you try to access
the file AR,HIST from TCL your session just locks up.

can still access just the live AR file - no problem there.

anyone know how to piece this thing back together without restoring from
backups?
