chunks and raw filesystems

[Geezer]

I've been adding chunks to Informix using the incorrect size
to fully use a disk partition. I am going to start using the
correct size now (and correct the old ones at a later date).

Now I have 2Gb raw disk partitions. If I want to add an additional
chunk to a dbspace do I set the block size as 1024000 to fully use
the filesystem?

Hope someone can help.

If I understand you correctly.......8-)

In order to use the full 2G rawspace as a chunk for a dbspace, you
would use something like . . .
onspaces -a (some dbspace_name) -p (path to raw disk
partition) -o 0 -s 2048000

This would add a 2G chunk to a dbspace. Remember, onspaces uses K,
not pages.

Ooooooh, good point . . . . I haven't used onmonitor in ages....

According to the onmonitor screen I see in 9.30, it shows KB for
offset and size.
