Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Corrupt Tablespace File
The `.ibd` file is physically damaged due to disk errors, power loss, or improper file transfer, making its embedded SDI unreadable.
⚠️
Incompatible Tablespace Version
The tablespace was created with a different, incompatible MySQL version or a non-standard tool, leading to a mismatch in SDI format.
⚠️
Orphaned or Detached Tablespace
The `.ibd` file exists on the filesystem but is not properly linked or registered with the current MySQL instance, hindering SDI access.
