Hi everyone,

Am getting the following entry in the firebird log file:

==================================================================

server (Server) Mon Jan 26 19:35:22 2004
INET/inet_error: read errno = 104

==================================================================

I am using Firebird ver 1.0.3 on RedHat Linux 8. The database is a
single file database currently. The physical db size on disk of the file
is about 740 MB with 3 users only running queries and inserting data.

What can be the problem ? How do I correct it ?

The guardian restarts FB and I am up and running smoothly again.

Regards,
