Article ID: 170296 - Last Review: March 14, 2006 - Revision: 4.0 FIX: Deadlock on Table with Text/Image Column May Cause ErrorsThis article was previously published under Q170296
BUG #: 16861 (6.5)
SYMPTOMS
Heavy stress that causes an extremely high number of deadlocks on a table
with image/text columns may cause the following errors and cause the server
to stop responding:
udread: Operating system error 38(Reached end of file.) on device
'C:\MSSQL\DATA\MASTER.DAT' (virtpage 0x00ffff00).
Buffer 10da140 from database 'MSS' has page number 2855763 in the page
header and page number -256 in the buffer header mirrorproc: i/o error on primary device 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\MASTER.DAT' udread: Operating system error 6(The handle is invalid.) on device 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\MASTER.DAT' (virtpage 0x00000114). udread: Operating system error 6(The handle is invalid.) on device 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\MASTER.DAT' (virtpage 0x00000394). udread: Operating system error 6(The handle is invalid.) on device 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\MASTER.DAT' (virtpage 0x00000105). bufwait: timeout, BUF_IO, bp 0x10fdea0, pg 0x110, stat 0x1004/0x6, obj 0x1d906ebe, bpss 0 This problem only happens infrequently on very high performance servers. In the scenario in which Microsoft was able to reproduce these errors, an SMP computer with fairly high CPU speed was required, and even then this problem only surfaced occasionally. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 6.5. This problem has been corrected in Service Pack 5a for Microsoft SQL Server 6.5.For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 197177
