Damaged tables
There are a number of ways you can damage a table.
The following items can damage a table:
- An incorrect buffer flush
- A user error
- Mounting a files system or another chunk on top of a chunk
- Deleting or updating when the scope of the change is not as narrow as you require
Damaged indexes can cause a table to seem damaged, even though it is not.
The oncheck commands cannot fix most damaged tables. If a page is damaged, oncheck can detect and try to fix the page, but cannot correct the data within the page.
