Hi,
Using : dbexport -ss dbname        with IDS 7.31 UD1 on RedHat 7.0,
I get the error message : "cannot make export directory" even with a lot of
trials on files and directories rights.
The result is : the directory dbname.exp is created and remains empty.

Is there any known bug in this configuration ?
Does somebody knows a walk around trick ?

Thanks a lot in advance.        Jean-Francois Viguier

No workaround

Just being in an empty directory with all the rights on that dir at
777 and enough of emtpy space should work

There was a weird combination of two bugs - one in Informix, one in
Redhat - that lead to this.  The Informix bug was to run the 'mkdir'
command with no standard input, standard output or standard error.
The Rehat bug was to attempt to close the standard I/O channels and
complain when that operation failed.

Check whether there's a more recent version of IDS 7.3x available for
Linux; if so, use it.

If not, there was a resolution, oh, a couple of years ago when 7.0
first came out, but I forget what it was.  At worst, you could get
fileutils from the GNU web site, and compile and install those.

Hi Jean-Francois .

This is bug of Redhat.

Try the following.

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/fileutils-4.0.36-1.src.rpm

HTH.
