Hi there,i do have a open ticket @ IBM for this, but i would like to post it here too, just to get all possible feedback.
Situation :
OS :
p4, 2,8 GHZ, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB Hardisk free, SCSI System ( AHA ), W2k + sp3
Notes :
Fresh & clean install of 6.01, databases are converted from r5 during the last year from any r6 beta to r6.0.1
( CF1 can not be apllied to the server based on checksum errors, even if this is a fresh 6.0.1 install from the partnerworld software, i hate it and i would be pleased to have a full 6.0.1 CF1 download for partners !! )
Error description :
after the installation we run always ncompact -c -D to be sure that all databses are on the right db version. but this time some databases had problems ( non existing documents, container errors, etc. ). fixup was started on this db’s and afterwards ncompact again.
but even after fixup do not compalin about any documents ncompact found several errors and we had crashes for the same or even other databases
that seems to be ok on the first run.
to get reproducable errors i just do a endless loop for one database ( nfixup afterwards ncompact ), but it never get through, sometimes even the os itself crashed.
We found that the w2k policy setting, log pages in memory needs to be set to get at least 50% of all ncompact runs to work, but even after that ncompact marks sometimes databases as corrupt ( any variations of database errors )
One obvious thought are eliminated :
after all this problems the server had to do a heavy burn-in test to be sure that no faulty memory, hardware or misconfiguration causes this errors. the burn-in test went through ( 3 days without any errors )
Any ideas would be highly appriciated
Regards
