Have you actually tried db_recover yet? It can fix some things even without a transaction log.

I would recommend making a backup of your .db files first. After you have tried Kevin's suggestion, you can go into the directory for the collection (where the dataspace_attributes.db and collections_attributes.db are) and try running db_recover -v.

Kevin and I found recently that db_recover doesn't necessarily print much of anything to stdout even with the -v, just to warn you.

  You could try running db_verify -o <file>.db and see what it says.

To all:

We had a disk crash causing the dataspace database to become corrupted in
our production environment.  The log messages indicate that we should run
a db_recover, but, as everyone knows, there is not a transactions log from
which to recover.  So, are there any PVFS tools or Berkeley db tools that
we should try?
