archecker issue

Platform HP L3000
OS HPUX 11.23
IDS 10.00.FC8

After performing the following command

$INFORMIXDIR/bin/ontape -v -t STDIO -s -L 0 > <filename>

to a local directory, the command is successful and the file created is 18+ GB.

I then use the following command to do a table level restore

cat -u <filename> | \

$INFORMIXDIR/bin/archecker -t -X -f ./rest1 -l phys -v -s
And the command is successful in restoring the table contents to the new table named in the schema command file.

I repeat the process to a windows 2000 server to a directory mounted with the following command

/usr/bin/cifsmount //<domain.name>/images <mount_point> -U <userid> -P <passwd>

The mount is successful, the ontape command creates the archive file 18+ GB;
however the archecker process starts but stops.

The screen message tells me that archecker has reached the <eof>

When I do an ls -l of the file on the mounted filesystem, the OS reports the size of the file as 1.6+ GB. I then did a mv <filename> <new_filename>; ls -l and the size returns to 18+ GB

Any ideas?

Thanks
