Delete your database and restart HA.

3

Thanks! I was an idiot and didn’t search first.

4

But so i lost all my data (temp graph, etc?)

5

That is a side-effect from deleting the database. I keep the data I want to store long-time in influx-db.

6

I just now switched to SSD (Pi3 + SSD) becouse lost last sdcard.
Also i would use more stable db system like postgres or other.
Now with ssd in can install some else. what you suggest?
inclux-db can run into pi3+hassos on ssd?

7

Probably. I use an old fashioned 2.5 harddisk.

8

I am strongly wondering how everyone can accept the “just delete that damn sqlite db and your good to go!” workaround so all history data is gone.

I restored a snapshot and ended up in the same situation, things didn´t work. I tested it 3 times, in every test case the SQLite database got corrupted. Either during backup (creating the snapshot) or restore process.

Just not acceptable to me to loose all my history data every now and then. That´s not a reliable backup and restore progress at all!

It would be nice to see some core devs working on that issue because it´s a MASSIVE one and widely spread, see all the topics. For me personal I think I´m gonna switch to MySQL, i don´t trust that SQLite stuff anymore.

Update: Fix corrupted / malformed SQLite database (home-assistant_v2.db)
