Hi,

When trying to restore a database using 16K page size for the
destination database, (Firebird 1.0.3 on Windows Server 2003) gbak
gives the following error:

gbak: ERROR: internal gds software consistency check (cannot start
thread)
gbak: ERROR: failed to create database localhost:e:\db\db_res
tore_16K.fdb
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

The command I used is:

gbak -c -user SYSDBA -pass 123456 -p 16384 -v db.gbk
localhost:e:\db\db_restore_16K.fdb

The restore works with 8K page size, and also does not work through
IBExpert.

The only verbose output from gbak before the error is the following:

gbak: opened file db.gbk
gbak: backup file is compressed

Your help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Riaan
