Hi Team,

I am running a Nexus Docker Registry container and have been able to push the Docker images for some time. After that, I got the below error and a 500 internal server error.

Please help fix this issue at the earliest.

You have files that are referenced by the database but are missing from disk.

Its was a fresh install with a containerized Nexus Docker registry. It worked for the first two Docker pushes. After that, the Docker push failed due to the above-mentioned issue. I did not do any manipulation on the database or blob/disc store.
