Hello,

I have installed DB2 on two servers (Centos and Debian) according to
article:
Installing IBM DB2 v8 fp17a on Debian Lenny (or other distro like Ubuntu) manually - Aulix WebGUI Hosting

It works very fine on Centos 64 bit but backup/restore hangs on Debian
32 bit
Following applies to Debian instance:

New database is created fine: db2 create db test1
It is connected fine by: db2 connect to test1

Problems:
Backup "hangs" (works indefinitely long)
db2stop force "hangs" too

Please suggest how to fix Debian installation.
I can provide db2diag.log if needed.

Thanks, Alex

Make sure the kernel versions and patches are up to the IBM recommended levels.

Have you used the recommended semophore settings ?

Please let me know recommended kernel level and hyperlink with that recommendation.

I am using default Debian kernel:
Linux workstation.aulix.com 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Thu May 28 16:09:02 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Thanks
