How to i create dbspace with "onutil" in informix XPS 8.5 - 08-10-2007 , 01:59 PM

i am using informix XPS 8.5
after oninit -iy, i want to create a user dbspace.
The command i used as below:

# ./onutil
1> create dbspace dat
2> chunk "/database/ibmdat/xps85/user1.dat" size 256MBYTES;

but i got a error:
[001] The chunk '/database/ibmdat/xps85/user1.dat' must have owner-ID
and group-ID set to informix.

i am pretty sure that user1.dat has owner "informix" and group
"informix" as well.

please help me, thank you

Type ls -l /database/ibmdat/xps85/user1.dat and find out for sure. Also
make sure that informix has write permission to the object. If
user1.dat is a link (much better if it is), make sure that the linked
object is owned and writable by informix.

You also need a 'chmod 660 user1.dat'
