Optimus,
Your method is mostly correct, but I am not sure about your math!
acutal_size = free * 4096 = bytes
/ 1024 = Kbytes
/ 1024 = Mbytes
/ 1024 = GBytes.
Thats makes the total size of a chunk at 0.9gb
Free:
692mb
944mb
621mb
194mb
Do these numbers seem familiar? Plug them into a spread sheet for more accurate results.
Plus, be very careful when changing the disk allocations of logical volumes underneath Informix' nose. If you screw up, Informix won't like it and a level 0 archive/restore might not cut it either. Do a dbexport to disk or tape. It may take a while, and the restoration, with dbimport, may be a bit trickier with large tables. The benefit would be that the format (dbschema + unload files) is simple and does not rely on the underlying instance configuration on being exactly the same.
MBB.

vdltodmx
vdltodmx(1) General Commands Manual vdltodmx(1)
NAME
vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer
SYNOPSIS
vdltodmx infile outfile
DESCRIPTION
vdltodmx reads the input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format. After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration
file format is written to the output file.
The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html
EXAMPLE
Given the following VDL-format file:
0
2
#
#
2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
2
:2.1 1280 2048 0 0 0 0
:2.2 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0
4
1280 1024 0 0
1280 1024 0 1024
1280 1024 1280 0
1280 1024 1280 1024
#
2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
2
:2.2 1280 2048 0 0 0 0
:2.3 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0
4
1280 1024 1280 0
1280 1024 1280 1024
1280 1024 2560 0
1280 1024 2560 1024
the following DMX-format file will be produced:
#
#
virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
display :2.1 1280x2048;
display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
}
#
virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
display :2.2 1280x2048;
display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
}
BUGS
If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
