APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
The current documentation of an offset in onstat -d is: "The offset into the file or raw device in pages" The offset size in the "onstat -d" output shows the value in base page size not in dbspace page size. That should be documented. Example: onspaces -c -d dbs2 -k 8k -p /chunks/1150fc4/dbs2 -o 4096000 -s 500000 onstat -d Dbspaces address number flags fchunk nchunks pgsize flags owner name 123044028 1 0x60001 1 1 2048 N B informix rootdbs 1241409e8 3 0x60001 3 1 8192 N B informix dbs2 3 active, 2047 maximum Chunks address chunk/dbs offset size free bpages flags pathname 1230441c0 1 1 0 100000 25011 PO-B- /chunks/1150fc4/rootdbs1.1 124140b80 3 3 2048000 62500 62447 PO-B- /chunks/1150fc4/dbs2 3 active, 32766 maximum
