I am running :-
gfix -mend -full -ignore <db_name>-user <user>-password <pwd>
IB 7.5.1 / Windows 2003 server / Database size 3.8 GB
Fast Dell Dual XEON Processor Hardware
When you look at task manager gfix is 0% CPU / 0 CPU Time / 200k memory - although IBServer seems to be doing something. In the past gfix or IBConsole Validate/Repair has usually taken no more than 45 mins max.
I wish ther was a way to tell how long u'll be waiting, whether it has crashed/stuck especially when you have lots of angry users asking how long till ure back up and running again.
Any advice?
Steve

options and greater details. Can you see any disk reads/writes?
Can you create an empty version of the db (metadata backup+restore) and
pump records from old to new database (not touching any indexes)?
