Corruption Of Tradspool

[Matus "fantomas" Uhlar]

-> Due to a power failure, I corrupted my tradspools.  I tried various ways
-> of repair mentioned on the web, using makedbz and one other program
-> (forgot the name).  Nothing worked.  I still get errors related to INN
-> throttled and all that.

It seems your active file containt old informations - try 

ctlinnd renumber ''

Also, you could send those throttle messages - they would tell what's wrong
(it's 90% on this one)

-> I could wipe out the database and spools and start over.  That is a 100%
-> reliable way.  But here are my questions:
-> 
-> a)What should I do (in general) to repair a corrupted tradspool arrangement?

fix up active and rebuild history.

-> b)Is there any documentation that explains the database formats?  I don't
-> know the relationship between the articles in the tradspool, the database
-> files in ~news/db, and the overview.
-> 
-> I believe my article files are intact.  I just need to rebuild the other
-> stuff.
