Hi Wally,

I just confirmed with our Admin that it was programs crashing, not a
corrupt file that required the reboot.

Thanks for the clarification and actual issue ID.

I am not aware of any problems with RESIZE CONCURRENT that resulted in a
corrupt file.

There is a problem that can occur that results in a WRITE failure, but
not physical file corruption. From the 7.2.8 readme (for Linux you will
need to upgrade to 7.2.9):

Issue UDT-3787 - Problem Description

UniBasic -- After a RESIZE CONCURRENT command had been run on any
UniData file on a server, subsequent updates to records in another
UniData file could result in a fatal UniBasic runtime error:

        U_LLM_Release error 7

This problem occurred very rarely. While it could occur with an update
to any UniData file type, it had only been reported with updates to a
DIR-type file within UniBasic.

Upgrade to 7.2.8 before you try it.

We tried this on 7.2.5 in Dev and required a reboot from corruption. We
were informed we need to upgrade 7.2.8 to get the fix for it.

As always, I'd suggest doing anything new a few times on a Dev server
before trying it on a Production server.

Cheers,
dan

Subject: [U2] Unidata RESIZE CONCURRENT

Unidata 7.2.5 on RedHat.

Historically, we have had downtime and a brief (1 hour) maintenance
window each week where we  memresize our files.  We'd like to switchover
to RESIZE/CONCURRENT to reduce downtime and would like to hear from
anyone doing this on a production system.

It's not that I don't trust it: I'm just looking for insight, gotchas,
pros/cons of memresize vs RESIZE or other input from those who might've
gone down this road already.

TIA,
