Patch PE71-0907011
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* The dbvolextend utility failed to correctly initialize the volume
  file size if used with an initial size (-s command line option) of
  512 MB or higher (#3793).

  The resulting volume file size was 2.5 MB (the default size) but
  dbvoldump reported the size specified with the dbvolextend -s
  command line option.

  The resulting volume was functional, although the database server
  would report a "data volume file is smaller than expected" warning
  message on startup.

  Usually, volume file space is pre-allocated so that the file size
  equals the current size reported by dbvoldump.
  However, in this case the volume file would only use as much space
  in the filesystem as data was written (sparse file).


Patch PE71-0709202
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* The dbvolextend utility could fail to update the [Volumes] section
  of the eloqdb6 configuration file.

  While updating the configuration file, a temporary file was created
  in the current root directory, typically C:\.

  On recent Windows versions starting with Windows Vista, C:\ is
  write-protected by default, causing dbvolextend to fail.

  The dbvolextend utility now uses the system-defined temporary
  directory.


Patch PE71-0705305
------------------

Platforms: All

* The dbvolextend utility was changed to retain additional
  status information in the volume files that is used by 
  replication.
  
  Older dbvolextend versions did reset this information and 
  therefore could cause a problem when used with replication.
