Error: Out of system capacity writing beyond position

The instance error.log file contains one of the following errors:

• 12.07.2006 15:10:56 *ERROR* search: I/O error while flushing page /content/internet/bd/aln/de/aktuell/aktmit/183feuerbran: out of file system capacity writing beyond position 4332800
• 04.08.2007 12:44:55 *ERROR* standard: messed up token file: java.io.IOException: out of file system capacity reading/writing beyond position 4332800

Solution

Increase the "blocksize" configuration parameter:

1. Edit the configuration file: /config/repository/searc/defaulthandler.xml (if you are using contentbus, it's /config/contentbus/search/defaulthandler.xml.
2. Double the value of the blocksize attribute (for example, if it's 128, set it to 256.
3. Save the change.
4. Stop the instance.
5. Delete search.db and search.db.cache from the cq_home/data/author file.
6. Restart the instance.
   

Additional information

This issue occurs when the standard database file (per default search.db) has reached its capacity.
