unbelievable - i just felt i had to post a follow up to this. the resize process that we thought was dead and we closed the telnet client that initiated the session and all - gave up on it - thought it was a dead process.
we would have expected it to run in less than 1/2 hour. well, anyway, low and behold when I got back onto that customers system today to start restoring files - it turns out that the resize actually finished up and the date/time stamp makes it appear as if the resize ran for about 30+ hours - but the point is it did actually finish - even after we killed the telnet client that started the session - unbelievable. the mystery still is - why did it take so long. yes, the new file sizing parameters where dead on and the old file size wasn't all that far off either. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Walter > Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 11:25 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 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? > ------- > u2-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
