Roger,

It is very suspicious that the file size 1,073,741,312 is 512 bytes less
than 1 GB (1,073,741,824).  I would look at "ulimit" on the new machine
- perhaps "ulimit" is set to 1 GB or some other size limiting factor
caused the file to be truncated during the move.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [U2] Universe conversion migration

We're moving from one machine running AIX 4.3 and Universe 9.5 to a new
machine running AIX 5.3 and Universe 10.2.4.

Using tar.

The majority of the move goes fine.   Usual hassles.    Recataloging,
Reindexing.

But two critical large files repeatedly are a problem.   Both are type
30s.  And appear fine on the original machine.   Once moved, we can't
even count them without the following message.
WARNING: Internal file corruption detected during file open!
         File must be repaired, possible truncation.
         hsize: 2048  bsize: 2048 fsize: 1073741312
         WARNING: Internal file corruption detected during file open!
         File must be repaired, possible truncation.
         hsize: 2048   bsize: 2048           fsize: 1073741312
         Unable to open "GL.DETAILS" file.
And uvfilefix just curls up its toes and dies.
Production machine shows
1,048,576   -rw-rw-rw-   root sys  1,073,741,312 (same as the fsize).

The other file PAYABLES shows
1,048,576  -rw-rw-rw-  root sys  1,073,741,312

---was there some change in type 30 formating between 9.5 and 10+? that
we didn't know about.   I've only been with this company for 7 months,
but we so far haven't had to repair any files.

These are the only two files with problems and we can break them into
smaller non-30 files for the move and then recombine them.    But if
anybody knows of a type 30 issue, then I'd appreciate any heads up.

thanks
Roger Glenfield
