How to attach database configured with Filestream

  • Hi,

    I have detached a database having Filestream and then moved the mdf,ldf and filestream folder to mount points under drive G (G:\SQLDATA and G:\SQLLOGS) and trying to attach the database. But getting the below error. Please advice.

    CREATE DATABASE Test ON

    PRIMARY ( NAME = Test_data,

    FILENAME = 'G:\SQLDATA\Test.mdf'),

    FILEGROUP RBSFileStream CONTAINS FILESTREAM( NAME = RBSFilestream_Test, FILENAME = 'G:\SQLDATA\RBSFileStream')

    LOG ON (NAME = Test_log,

    FILENAME = 'G:\SQLLOGS\Test.ldf')

    FOR ATTACH

    GO

    Error:

    msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1

    Unable to open the physical file "G:\SQLDATA\RBSFileStream". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".

  • Check the permissions on the folders. When you copied the filestream folder it may not have inherited the permissions from the SQLData folder. The service account needs permissions to all the folders.

  • I'm new to this. Just want more info. Thanks.

    Permissions are all same for drives. I checked by right clicked the drives and all are having same permissions.

  • Hi Gary,

     

    I know it was a long time ago when this post has been sent, but I have the same problem now so I would like to ask if you solved the problem back then...

     

    Any help appreciated, Thanks!
