> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-5232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5232
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 10.8.1.2
> Reporter: Kathey Marsden
> Assignee: Mamta A. Satoor
>
> Users often on bad advice or desperation touch or delete files in the log or
> seg0 directories (mostly log).
> I think it would be good for new databases and on upgrade that a file be
> created in these directories with a name like:
> TOUCHING_FILES_HERE_WILL_CORRUPT_DB_README.txt
> or some such to warn of the perils of doing this and the corrupting effects
> and how it can eliminate any possibility of salvage. It should also encourage
> users to make a zip backup of the database directory with no jvm currently
> accessing it before trying to do anything with the database if it appears to
> be already corrupt. Also point to backup/restore documentation and encourage
> restore of a good backup into an empty directory if the database is corrupt.
> I'm not sure if it would help but it couldn't hurt.
