I have 000s of red ERROR Unable to Update Data record msgs today, the groups don't seem to be updated despite the fact I can see the headers totals cycling as they appear to leech from the servers.
Instead of the usual (###) number on the group tabs, I have (0) & empty lists.
I have <50gb free on the NBP data drive.
Decided to try the new beta #13 to see if it was any different - it isn't
The header download ended about 10 mins ago & NBP is still just listing more ERROR Unable to Update Data record entries as each second passes - added another 1000 whilst I was typing...
Any ideas?
edit -
Just realized I cannot add to the queue from search etc. It shows the 'tick' but nothing happens - maybe held up by the errors?

You restarted and there's no change?

Sounds like something happened to Newsbin's ability to write to disk. Like it's being blocked or the DB's are corrupted.

It was fine yesterday & with the available space it shouldn't have an issue. It has full permissions.
NBP has been restarted about 5 times inc the update to beta 13 from 6.5x
Old headers (yesterday & previous) load up fine, but trying to d/l doesn't get to queue (yet?)
The group tabs are slowly starting to fill if reloaded, but I'm at 4000 error msgs now & still rising. On restart the msgs just start again...
FYI
NBP reports
cache 200/200 (86)
47.25 gb free on Data drive

Current CPU use at 8%
RAM
private working bytes -155,640k
private bytes - 466,312k

I will leave it for an hour & see what happens. Maybe I should nuke my headers & start over?

I you don't mind wiping and redownloading, that might be the easiest way.

Left it until it stopped giving error msgs.
Restarted & now headers will download but it is doing weird stuff.
Some watchlists work some don't (all local for headers). Tried deleting & making new WLs - will del but doesn't save. Tried different names etc.
Tried leeching from search result - nothing but tick on result. No D/L activity at all.
As a test did a block of d/ls from headers & ended up with dozens of empty folders along with one that actually had files.
Disk space for data has increased to 48.83gb

Very confusing!
Guess I better wipe it all out.

Nuked the lot & did a totally clean install of 6.6x b13
Everything seems to be working now.
Weird...hope it is still OK tomorrow!
