Chris, The inode is NOT the same one. I tried a sqlite dump | restore operation but it didn't work... With your journalctl -f and trying dnf history, dnf reported I/O errors but no kernel or /var/log/messages appeared to contain I/O error messages. fc35-bash 5.1 /var/lib/dnf# sqlite3 history.sqlite 'VACUUM;' Error: file is encrypted or is not a database The drive is a hybrid Seagate drive: fc35-bash 5.1 /var/lib/dnf# smartctl -i /dev/sda smartctl 7.3 2021-03-02 r5210 [x86_64-linux-5.12.0-0.rc1.20210305git280d542f6ffa.164.fc35.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-21, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate FireCuda 2.5 Device Model: ST2000LX001-1RG174 Serial Number: ZDZ4TK3H LU WWN Device Id: 5 000c50 0b38c6722 Firmware Version: SDM1 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes [2.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Rotation Rate: 5400 rpm Form Factor: 2.5 inches Device is: In smartctl database 7.3/5170 ATA Version is: ACS-3 T13/2161-D revision 3b SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Sun Mar 14 15:02:42 2021 PDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

The scrub should find the same corruption. If you do: ls -li /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite Is the reported inode number on the left 2239235? What kind of drive is /dev/sda? HDD or SSD? -- Chris Murphy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2021 22:56:56 -0700 From: Chris Murphy <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Is there a procedure to rebuild /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite?

But it's inspecific suspicion. Maybe it is conversion. I also don't know if this will fix the SQLite I/O errors, or make things worse, in which case you'd lose dnf history (probably not a big loss). sudo -i cd /var/lib/dnf/ sqlite3 history.sqlite 'VACUUM;' That cleans the database. It will delete the other two files which will reappear later once dnf starts writing to this database again. -- Chris Murphy ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
