When 4D starts flushing the cache to disk it writes something to the data file on disk that it is flushing. When the flush finishes it removes this marker inside the data file. When 4D starts up it checks for this marker and if found it knows 4D crashed before completing the flush. Hence, the message you are seeing. Just run MSC on the data file and it will repair it so that it can be used again. MSC is the only thing that can remove this marker from inside the data file and get it to work again.
