I don’t know how it crashed yet, I’m checking what the reason was.

We will check if we have a recent backup.

Yes, we made a compile file-system level copy of the database.

What does the issue with clog imply?

We have 5 files in the clog folder:

  1. Files 0000-0002 are 256K filled with ‘U’
  2. File 0003 is 184K and at the end there is junk like ‘ZZZZZiiiiiii™eiY’
  3. File 0004 is 24K and filled with ‘U’

I performed the procedure and the db started. How can I check if it’s corrupted or not?

What does the file replacement actually did?  Which records is marked as uncommitted?

 

 

Thanks a lot for your help
