Hi Everyone.Just want to get some idea from you all.recently i have archive my mail into my local. when i open open my archive database it cannot be open but it prompt an error which is “B-Tree structure is invalid”. But the weird case is when i copy my archive database to another PC. And it able to open it.

so i run a command load updall -R mail/user.nsf to fix the database. But it still cannot open in the local.

Do you all have any idea about this ?

please advice. Thank you.

hope to hear from you all again

This issue is caused by the File systems under the DB location. It is liekly that there is something wrong. If you can copy it (which is the solution to the issue if you can) then delete the original and then copy the archive to a different location on the disk.

Be award that you might want to run some disk utils on the machine to stop any possible disk failiures…

It is highly unlikely that Domino maintenance can deal with this… The disk under the file is screwed.

Use the copy of the DB and run a SCAN or check disk on the machine.

Hi Nathan. Thanks for your reply.i just a bit confuse.

you said

“Use the copy of the DB and run a SCAN or check disk on the machine.”

do you mean user the copy of the DB(original) that keep in the Server? can perform SCAN or check disk ?

Please advice.

Hi

You said at first that if you copied the file to another PC, you were able to access the DB. What you need to do is copy that archive back you the users machine. Use this as your archive.

The warning is this… if you have one bad sector on the disk there could be more.

the B-tree error will not be fixed by running any Domino tasks. This is because the underlying file structure is at fault and not the Lotus or Domino structure.

I hope this makes sense.
