I would probably have spend some time to try to repair the local metadata. It's a SQLite <https://sqlite.org/index.html> database so installing the sqlite CLI and opening the database up with that tool can help most of the time. Downloading the metadata backups should be the very last resort. PS: do you upload metadata backups every hour (i.e. you changed --metadata-upload-interval)? Normally they get uploaded every 24 hours so you would loose up to two days, not two hours. The error from fsck (apsw.ConstraintError: UNIQUE constraint failed: contents.parent_inode, contents.name_id) means that you somehow had two files in a directory with the same name. I have no clue how that could have happened, since that error should have occurred the moment the second file would have been created. If you know, how that might have happened, please do tell so that we can try to fix S3QL to prevent these errors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "s3ql" group.
