I know very little about this DB, and have been having some difficulty with the system crashing. When this crash occurs, there is no core dump, no panic, nothing. The system just totally locks up. Does anyone have any suggestions 1) on running Excalibur EFS or 2) on extracting any information from a system that is frozen? It cannot be accessed via the network when it is locked, it is just dead. It must be physically powered off and restarted. I have increased my swap space significantly, my next step may be to purchase more memory (currently 32Mb). Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Neal S.
