Title: Lotus Notes cannot allocate space
Post by: BohumilCerny on June 12, 2016, 01:30:03 PM

HI:
 I had a archived copy of my email on the local system. Due to some problem my C: drive of the system got corrupted and i had already taken one copy of my archive folder. After reinstalling the OS and Lotus Notes now i have kept the archive copy in the same folder DATA\Archive\batabasename. Now when i try to access the archive it gives message a " DATABASE is corrupted --- cannot allocate space""
I tried to move the archived copy of the DB to server and applied following commands but non of them worked..
Load compact databasename -c
Load updall databasename -c
Fixup
I have Lotus version 7
Any idea?
Thanks!

After reinstalling the OS

In Windows, an install destroys all data on the hard drive or partition.
In hindsight, you should have taken another approach.

Does your email service keep copies of all e-mail? If so, you could get some or all of it back. Worth a try

Otherwise, I can not help you. Maybe somebody else has a clue.

Try to repair this kind of file:
- put it on a server (if it is not already)
- add the line SKIP_FIXUP=1 in the notes.ini of the server (this prevents the consistency check of the database)
- restart the server
- run the command "load compact databasename -M" (this error often occurs with an old ODS version database limited to 1 Gb and this command extend the db to 4 Gb)
Or you can try to use Lotus Notes Recovery Toolbox  for repair your file http://www.oemailrecovery.com/lotusnotes_recovery.html
After that, you should open the database.
