What's the solution to error message: "Unable to create locations due to 'RRV bucket is corrupt'?" QUESTION POSED ON: 17 SEP 2006
QUESTION ANSWERED BY: Cregg Hardwick RRV stands for Record Relocation Vector. It is a pointer that tells Notes where to find a specific NoteID. I have never run across this problem, but I've read about it. It sounds pretty intractable. The suggested solutions are:

First, if the database is based on a template (as is normally the case with a mailbox), replacing the design of the database from the template on another mail server.

If the error is occurring with a database not based on a template, restore the database from a backup. If the restored copy does not have the problem, then replace the design of your broken database with the design of the backup copy. You can do this by creating a design-only copy of the restored database and giving it an "ntf" extension, then making it a template under database properties.

I've never seen this problem in eight years, and I've seen a lot. Make sure you don't have a third party program that is accessing the database while the server is doing a compact. Something such as virus protection or a disk defragmenter might do this.
