Question

How do I fix a “database disk image is malformed” sync error?

We have one system that is no longer syncing files and the log files show the error message: database disk image is malformed.

Three other systems that are sharing access to the data are not having any issues with the sync on any of these files. Is there an easy solution?

Things we've done:

- Turn off syncing & restart it

- Delete the folder, try to resync (doesn't add files back)

- Pause and resume sync

Thanks!

Seeing the same issue here. In my case I am on a Mac and there are no log files at the location mentioned.

Error:

1/4/16 10:32:29.949 AM revisiond[96]: SQL error: 'INSERT INTO CSStoragePendingFileChunklistTable (pft_token, pft_inode) VALUES (1094, 67759955)', (11) database disk image is malformed
