In Response To: Re: RE: cannot initialize rootdbs (NOOR ANSARI AB RAZAK)

Although the link '/informix/chunk/rootchunk' has ownership informix:informix this may not be true of the underlying raw space '/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s1' (or indeed '/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3'). It is these that need to be owned as informix:informix and have permissions of 660 the ownership of the links is irrelevant.
