When a filesystem failure happens in the 3.3 release Berkeley DB returns the underlying system error (usually EIO), but can continue to run. Applications should abort any enclosing transaction when a recoverable system error occurs in order to recover from the error.</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../upgrade.3.3/conflict.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../upgrade.3.3/txn_prepare.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="../../sleepycat/legal.html">Copyright (c) 1996-2003</a> <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Sleepycat Software, Inc.</a> - All rights reserved.</font> </body> </html>
