[Spambayes] Database Corruption: Defragmentation

[Chris Schirlinger]

I hope this is the right place for this, just following the FAQ :)

I have managed to corrupt my database multiple times, and I believe I 
know why it is happening (to me at least)

The corruption shows itself as "fatal region error detected; run 
recovery" error when trying to train Spambayes.

Every time this has happened, has been after I have defragmented the 
drive using a 3rd party disk defragmentor called DiskKeeper 
Professional version 10.0

SpamBayes was running while DiskKeeper was defragmenting, and the 
defragment process took sufficient time (unattended) that my email 
program (Pegasus) would have attempted to download email multiple 
times during the process.

The fix for me at least, is to close SpamBayes and email progams when 
defragmenting, something I should have done in the first place but 
forgot to do.
