Users started reporting some inconsistency on connecting to a database on DB2 9.5 on RHEL 5.I performed an initial check on connecting via Putty , and received an error of not being able to access the table container. A db2dialog.log snippet revealed: ZRC=0x8402001E=-2080243682=SQLB_CONTAINER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE "Container not accessible" I attempted a backup - which failed due to "not being able to write over a read only file".
