ERROR ReadFullDatabase

Postby astrax » Sun Aug 02, 2020 9:34 am

I've been getting this error message a couple of times recently:

ERROR ReadFullDatabase: Invalid packet length: Storage.db3

NB seems to be going fine, or at least I can't see, what this error does. Anything I should do?
Version is 6.82B7: 00 F5 10 42 96 94

Thanks!

It implies a corrupt header database. It's trying to read the data needed for download.

It depends on how big the group is and how widespead it is. If it's happening a bunch you might want to wipe then re-download headers for the group. (Post storage/Delete Stored Posts) then set some reasonable download age.

If it's rare and/or the group is big enough you don't want to re-download headers, you might decide to live with it.
