That's why it is ALWAYS recommended to use symbolic links for chunk paths
NOT the actual device or file paths. What version of IDS do you have? If
you are running IDS 10.00 or later, you can restore your last archive and
remap the chunks during the restore (see the Backup and Restore Guide manual
for your version).
BTW, your root chunk is NOT working either. Changing ROOTPATH in the
ONCONFIG file only changes the initial file opening that the engine uses to
read the reserved pages. once that's done, it closes ROOTPATH and opens all
of the chunks, including the initial root chunk, using the chunk table found
in the reserved pages which will be wrong even for the root chunk.
If you are running an earlier version that does not permit chunk renaming
using ontape/onbar, call us at oninit (www.oninit.com) we may be able to
help.
