Hi,
Gfix visits each page of the database, so 90 minutes is not so long if
your disk subsystem is not based SSD.
In general, follow these steps

Check firebird.log too - gfix reports there its findings.

hi, i'm trying to repair a corrupted db for firebird 2.5.2, the
database file is of about 30 gb.
i have disconnected all the user, i did a copy of the file and then i
executed the command
gfix -validate 'dbname' with the credentials of the user that created
the db (not the sysdba)
now the gfix process is 90 minutes that is on 0 cpu usage and 1 mb of
ram but the firebird process sometime works,
is the gfix process freezed or it's normal? can i terminate it and
retry or maybe this can add other problems to my database file?
thanks
