Looks like my blob store(s) is FUBAR. I rebuilt the database, but the rebuild process reported no errors. Can one recover from this?
Thanx

This isn’t database related. One of your files on disk is marked as deleted (soft deleted) but is still attached to an asset. (Maybe you restored a database without restoring a blobstore?)

If its a single blob the safest and easiest is probably to manually remove the deleted=true line from the properties file. Alternatively the Reconcile task should have an option for deleted components.

Removing all entries pertaining to deletion in the properties file listed in the log did the trick. Thanx!
