OK I'll start again, as I appear to have lost people. I have a server that has had a new internal hard drive installed and SCO Unix re-installed as the original internal drive crashed. As such the information relating to the removable SCSI hard drive on the system and it's partitions have been...

This is a SCSI external drive,not a USB drive SCO Unix 5

OK, I'm a novice at this too - sorry. I have a system that's lost all it's data - the backups are no good either. My only chance is a data backup that was taken to an external/removeable hard drive on a nightly basis. I know I need to mount this, but when I go into SCOADMIN I'm only given the...

I'm trying to get a system that had it's hard drive crashed and re-installed to mirror what there was before. At the moment I have the following: / (/dev/root) 15844310 blocks 2086820 i-nodes What do I need to do so that only so many blocks are allocated here and some can be put aside to...

Thanks Dave I'll look into this and let you know the outcome.

Dave Did you mean 237 or 239 ? I have checked the disk space on our Unix machine and we have more space there than I think this company will ever need ! Also when the query runs, if I check the space used on the Unix machine I can't establish even which partition is being used as there appears...

Has anyone else come into contact with this message when running an impromptu query. Although it looks like a simple message to start with, we do not have any disk space issues, and we are not actually sorting any records. We do however wish to report on a large quantity of data. Any help or...
