sudden slow opening of a .fp5 file

[joseppic]

I have been serving a large number of files from a RH7.2 box without problem.

However, two weeks ago my main appn. db file has started taking 30 seconds to open for my clients (all Win2000/XP).

It has been culled of images and reduced in size (via an export/import clone) from 400Meg to 300Meg and I am still getting the same poor response. The file has a lot of relationships but no calc/scripts invoked upon opening.

All other files on the server (bigger ones too) open in a trice.

After the 30 seconds of <-^^-> arrows it opens up and operates normally.

Has anyone else had such issues?

Does 30 seconds ring any timeout bells?

(I am serving this db and its relations via fm developer web companion too).

Thanks,

Joseppic.

Check to see the server's hard disk isn't getting full. Delete some temp files.
