1227.0. "Log files look to be corrupt, extract fails" by CSC32::B_GRUBBS () Wed Mar 06 1996 15:07

    Customer had a 17Mb event file built up for a particular machine
    and when he tries to extract events from just a few days ago
    till the present, he gets a message:
    
    No log data since specified time
    
    ok, so we try to verify and repair the log files and this is what
    we see.  Looks like major corruption in the log files:
    
    console -V pcmhost -R

            Starting Host pcmhost
    
    Loading : /var/opt/console/logs/pcmhost. fileset
    Test 1 : ** FAILED **.  too many timestamps for available data
    Test 2 : ** FAILED **.
    Test 3 : ** FAILED **.
    Test 4 : Passed.
    Test 5 : ** FAILED **.
    
    
    We archived and now newly created events are viewable with extract
    but still nothing from the old files.
    
    What causes this and can they be repaired?
    
    thanks,
