- Quoting J. David Schronce...
- }
- } On our Altos 2000 machine the drive which contains my database is
- } almost full. I would like to move some of the larger data files to
- } another drive. I've noticed that systables contains the path for each
- } of the tables, but it won't let me edit the path (or anything else).
- }
- } I've logged in as myself, root and even created a user called informix
- } to try to edit it without success.
- }
- Before you even install the Informix software, you must create an owner and
- group called "informix".
-
- } Can this table be editted? Can I move my files? Am I doomed to
- } purchase a larger hard drive for this database? Answers to these and
- } other questions in your next newsfeed.
- }
- The table can be editted by the "informix" user provided that the permissions
- for certain files are OK. The permissions of your engine should be:
- mode=6755, owner=root, group=informix
-
- The permissions for your database directory should be:
- mode=770, owner=you, group=informix
-
- The permissions for all the files in your database directory should be:
- mode=660, owner=you, group=informix
-
- I can't promise that what you intend to do will work, but I can't really
- see any problems with it either. I've never tried it so let me know
- what happens.
