Recovery doesn't recover data files, it recovers the 'environment' used by
Berkeley DB. The error you're seeing is saying that this environment is
corrupt. If you run recovery, you're rebuilding this environment, possibly
recovering some data that hadn't yet been written to the actual data files.
As always, backing up your __repository__ directory before any such
operations, especially after a hard computer crash, is strongly recommended.
You can run recovery with the -R command line flag. What's somewhat
of concern here, though, is that it should have attempted recovery
automatically...
If that fails, the next thing to attempt is deleting the __db.00? files and
the log.00000000?? files from your __repository__ (these so-called
environment files) and run recovery again.
When you do a repository backup (using the relevant menu or the --backup
option) only your *.db and DB_* files are actually backed up. When then
running restore (using -r), recovery is run for you. In other words, if you
know that you have a good repository backup archive around, you can start
chandler from it, telling it to restore that backup with -r (yes, this
overwrites your current __repository__ directory, back it up first).
See chandler --help for a list of all command line flags.
And, repeating myself, before attempting any of this, just to be sure, make
a complete copy of your __repository__ directory in case something goes
wrong.
To find the correct location of your __repository__ directory see
http://chandlerproject.org/bin/view/Projects/ProfileDirectory, that
directory is in your profile directory.
