\nI tried to submit an update to our database and I got this error.\nWhat does it mean?\nIs the error on the client or the server?\n<\/P>\n
\nOpening transaction 34508.\nLocking record 14 for update.\nUpdating record 14 in table BLUECHEESE.\nOperation failed.\nwrite: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.\n<\/PRE>\n\nWhen I try to view the record to see whether my update made it,\nI get this error:\n<\/P>\n
\nThe database may be corrupt; it requires administrator attention.\nTo protect the database, it has been taken offline.\n<\/PRE>\n<\/BLOCKQUOTE>\n\nI’m no expert here, but it looks like a write operation failed\nbecause the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.\nSince you’re updating a record on the server, it’s probably a\ncorruption problem on the server.\n(After all, there’s no change taking place on the client.\nThe client is just asking the server to do the work.)\n<\/P>\n
\nAnd the second error message seems to suggest that the database\nmay be corrupt and requires administrator attention.\nAs a precautionary measure, the database took itself offline\nso the corruption can’t spread.\nI’m pretty sure that’s a server-side thing, since the database\nis on the server.\n<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
