- This typically means that you are repairing the disk containing your
- current default directory.
-
- ANALYZE uses callable SORT, which needs work files. ANALYZE softwarily
- write-locks the volume being analysed to prevent changes to the structure
- from being made behind its back. The two operations are clearly
- incompatible.
-
- The workaround is to SET DEFAULT to another disk while analysing this one.
