Re: ERROR: could not read block

Our DBAs reviewed the Microsoft documentation you referenced,
modified the registry, and rebooted the OS. We've been beating
up on the database without seeing the error so far. We'll keep at
it for a while.

1450 ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service

SQL Server 7.0 experienced the same problem before:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274310

Some registration value tweak to solve it (for backup service):
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304101

I have to go out for a while ... Kevin, can you take a look at the 2nd
thread to see if it is possible to change some reg values to temporarily
solve the problem. A more robust solution will follow a retry style
following thread 1 I guess.

Cheers,
