the IDS would stop responding randomly. What would usually happen is I try to load a series of DDL statements, and it would just freeze in the middle of the process. after about 10 minutes, i ctrl-c out, and try to restart the computer. but i couldn't bring the IDS out of quiescent mode (every thing i do would just freeze the process)

any suggestions?

WHat platform are you on?
What did the online.log say?

It's on WIN2000 SERVER SP3

seems there is a problem with full logical logs

i tried to force to the next logical log
but system says the next logical log is USED and not backed up.

then i tried to fake backup (onbar -b -Fl) then try to force again. still not working..
