If you're using Linux, try: echo "create table t1(a);" |strace ./sqlite3 my.db 2>&1 |less
and examine the output. See where it differs from the successful tmpfs run. Newer versions of sqlite3 may have better IO error messages. > I'm running the command line tool to create sqlite3 db. > My directory permissions are drwxrwxrwt. > I'm getting the following error. > > > ./sqlite3 newdb > SQLite version 3.3.12 > Enter ".help" for instructions > sqlite> create table tbl1(one varchar(10), two smallint); > SQL error: disk I/O error > > If I try the same thing in a tmpfs, it works. ____________________________________________________________________________________Looking for a deal?
