Unable to delete repository when database is frozen

Hi Team,

We have upgraded the Nexus application from v3.30.0-01 to v3.38.1-01.
After upgrading, we are not able to delete a repository.
It showing error as " Unable to delete repository when database is frozen… Database not writable on node: xxxx".

Attached the error screenshot.

Please help us to fix the issue.

This is expected, when your database is frozen it is not writable. Unfreeze it first.

There is a REST API you can run to unfreeze the database (system —> api).

Or you can shut down nxrm and remove the frozen.marker file (sonatype-work/nexus3/db/frozen.marker).

Are you sure this is the same problem? What is the actual error that is occurring (what is in the logs)?

You might want to check how much disk space is free… if the disk is very full the database will automatically enter frozen mode.

cd /data/sonatype-work/nexus3
df -h .

Hi Rich,
We have enough disk space too. Please find the /data and /opt paths.

Kindly help on this issue.
