Database marked as read only?! #98271

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/98271

Hello Michael,

Thank you for confirming the ticket reference, that helps a lot.

I’ve checked in with our team, and this issue appears to be the same one reported earlier under ticket #98092. We’re tracking it together there to keep everything consistent.

Based on our review, the error you encountered happens when the Brain’s database is temporarily marked as read-only by another process. TheBrain itself doesn’t set this flag, so it’s likely something external, for example, a backup, sync, or antivirus tool that’s trying to access your Brains folder at the same time.

Could you please check whether you have any software like that running in the background, and if so, pause it briefly to see if the issue still occurs? That will help us confirm the cause.

We’ll continue monitoring this under your original case and update you as soon as we have more findings.

Best regards,

John
