Disabling FileStream

  • Hello,

    We have a new sharepoint 2010 farm setup and we were playing with fliestream. We decided not to use it and I disabled filestream. After restarting the sql service, the database went off-line and I got the following message:

    Database '<db_name>' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.

    I looked at the log file and saw the following:

    FILESTREAM feature is disabled.

    Error: 5105, Severity: 16, State: 14.

    A file activation error occurred. The physical file name '<path>be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.

    How do I get around this issue? How do I disable filestream without making the database inaccessible?

    Thanks in advance for any input.

  • Enable filestream, remove the filestream file from the database files, remove the filestream filegroup, and disable filestream again. That should solve your issue.

  • I tried deleting the files but I got a message the files cannot be dropped because its not empty. So, I did DBCC SHRINKFILE (RBSFilestreamFile, EMPTYFILE) and I got the following error message:

    Msg 5509, Level 15, State 3, Line 1

    The properties SIZE, MAXSIZE, or FILEGROWTH cannot be specified for the FILESTREAM data file 'RBSFilestreamFile'.

    Do I have to manually go to the share and delete the files from there and then drop the file and filegroup?

  • also, you may want to post in the correct forum section in future 😉
