Is there a quick way to find out which files have GFE's without having to analyze all of them one at a time. We have had occasions when the server has crashed, causing one or more open files to get GFE's. We have a large user base, so it is impossible to figure what everyone was doing when the server crashed. This means that we have to analyze every file, which takes a considerable amount of time.

The quick answer is no. However, there is another answer.

You could do a directory listing on the DOS level to get a list of candidates (files recently modified). Then run LH Verify on these. The manual work involved (unless you design a utility) may exceed the extra processing time consumed by performing LH Verify on the entire volume(s).

We use an approach where we have workstations

report to us when they encounter a GFE. That may

not help you as it sounds like you want to verify

all files immediately after a server crash.

We basically hook the routine that reports a GFE

(i can give specifics if you want). Then we have

that intermediate routine record and report File,

group, record ID, etc. to a DOS file that can be

checked by the system manager.
