Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-1393:
-----------------------------------------
True, and it only takes one bit flip to increase the number of bytes we try to
read by a huge number. We don't have any checksumming on that piece.
Oh, and we don't fsync .view files.

> Hello,
> I have a small database around 120 MB with approximately 16,000 documents.
> However, it happens (also from futon) that I get this error:

> If this error occurs to frequently causes couch_server to reach its max
> restart frequency causing the entire supervision tree to shutdown and hence
> the database server instance disappears.
> The function couch_file:read_raw_iolist_int/3 calls file:pread which
> returns {ok, Binary}. This Binary has almost 9 megabytes in size, which is
> very strange.
> I think this does mean that the function file:pread/3 is instructed to read
> from wrong position.
> The only reason I can think of is that the value of 'TotalBytes' from line
> (1) doesn't match the value of 'TotalBytes' from line (2)
> (1) TotalBytes = calculate_total_read_len(BlockOffset, Len),
> (2) {ok, <<RawBin:TotalBytes/binary>>} = file:pread(Fd, Pos, TotalBytes),
> The possible answer would be that in certain conditions the function
> calculate_total_read_len/2 doesn't return the expected value.
> Server: CouchDB/1.1.1 (Erlang OTP/R14B04)
> OS: OpenBSD 5.0 GENERIC.MP#63 amd64
> Now, the trouble is how to circumvent this situation.
> Thank you in advance,
> Bogdan
