MariaDB Error 1137: Cannot Reopen Table
Description
This error indicates that MariaDB was unable to reopen a table, often after a temporary closure or alteration. It commonly points to underlying issues with file system permissions, table corruption, or concurrent operations that leave the table in an inconsistent state, preventing further access.
Error Message
Can't reopen table: '%s'
Known Causes
4 known causesInsufficient File Permissions
The MariaDB server process lacks the necessary read/write permissions for the table files on the operating system's file system.
Corrupted Table Files
The table's data or index files (e.g., .frm, .ibd, .MYD, .MYI) are damaged due to a server crash, disk error, or improper shutdown.
Conflicting Concurrent Operations
Another process or query is holding a lock on the table, or an incomplete DDL operation (like ALTER or RENAME) left the table in an unready state.
Low Disk Space
The server's disk space is critically low, preventing MariaDB from creating temporary files or performing necessary file operations to reopen the table.
