Bug #: 50001046 (SQL Hotfix)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft SQL Server 2005:

You restore a database.
The database has a user-defined filegroup.
The user-defined filegroup is marked as read-only.

In this scenario, when you run the CHECKPOINT statement against the database, you receive the following error message:

Msg 823, Level 24, State 3, Line 1
The operating system returned error 5(Access is denied.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x0000000000e000 in file 'FilePath\FileName'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.

If you then restart the SQL Server service, the database does not recover. Additionally, the database enters the suspect state. When you examine the SQL Server 2005 Errorlog file, you find error messages that resemble the following:

Date Time SPID 0 transactions rolled back in database 't' (7). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Date Time SPID Recovery is writing a checkpoint in database 't' (7). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Date Time SPID Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 3.
Date Time SPID The operating system returned error 5(Access is denied.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x0000000000e000 in file 'c:\t.ro.1.ndf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
Date Time SPID Error: 3414, Severity: 21, State: 2.
Date Time SPID An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 't' (database ID 7) from restarting. Diagnose the recovery errors and fix them, or restore from a known good backup. If errors are not corrected or expected, contact Technical Support.
Date Time SPID Recovery is complete. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
