Re: Page Leak?

When looking at the code for mdb_env_copyfd1 (the copy with compaction function), there is this clause[0]:

if (rc == MDB_SUCCESS && root != new_root) {
    rc = MDB_INCOMPATIBLE; /* page leak or corrupt DB */
 }

Since this happens at the end of the function, and I'm seeing the mdb_copy -c takes a while, I figured this was the error that I was seeing.

If this isn't it, then what am I looking at?  If it is a corrupt DB, is there anything I can do to figure out how to fix this?

The error message you got has nothing to do with a page leak.
