The 20-somethings probably do WORSE than us. For most of them, if they haven't got a wizard to do it for them, they can't do it. They don't actually UNDERSTAND what they're doing most of the time.
(I hope I'm not maligning them, but I often feel, when trying to help users, that "tech support" is often "tech hindrance". The user *may* be an idiot, but if you actually try to look at it from their point of view, what they're trying to do usually makes sense. And the amount of "support" that is useless because they WON'T look at the problem through the user's eyes ... :-( Cheers, Wol -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: 19 December 2008 16:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] UV - broken file issue [not-secure] Mark: You'll notice that the 20-somethings who work in IT __DON'T__ do any better than the rest of us.

I don't know how the 20-somethings do it... I should have included that ulimit is in fact "unlimited". IBM sent us a later version (March 2008) of fixtool. It reported the same error. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Wallis Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 6:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] UV - broken file issue [not-secure] Have you checked what your ulimit is set to currently? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hennessey, Mark F. Sent: Friday, 19 December 2008 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] UV - broken file issue [not-secure] I have a broken file - likely due to the fact that DATA.30 is over 2 gigs. fixtool falls over, complaining that 'Data file size is over ulimit,". I believe I have used fixtool on files over the 2gb limit before, and gotten the file in good enough shape to copy to a 64 bit file. However that was on 10.0.8, we're now on 10.2.2. Does anyone know if the ulimit reference is a red herring? Is fixtool simply not giving me the love because DATA.30 is over 2gb? ------- 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/
