Dude Dbase corruption?

Hi,
I am getting an error when I start Dude (6.47)
/dude print
enabled: yes
Data-directory: dude
status: data dir not ready

More info… upon investigation
Mem use is 128.2 MiB of 128.3 MiB 0% free.
Biggest file is dude/dude.db 145.2 MiB
This file has suddenly grown in size recently.
Normally about 90 MiB

Any suggestion as to where to go from here?

First thing i would try is move the DB to a usb drive, point DUDE server settings to it, and see if it will enable. If it does, then you have data that is adding up.

just do
dude set enabled=no
dude vacuum-db

than
dude set enabled=yes
hope it helps

Copying to USB and then back to microSD card (download to computer than upload) worked for me. Not sure what the problem was, but vacuum-db didn’t help

When you have dude running fine and you want to do backup or other activities, please STOP dude before doing them,
just put a script and STOP dude before doing operations.
In this way we stopped having corruptions and issues on dude.
