Unable to start ActiveMQ after blue screen of death

[stirlingc <sc...@alarmpoint.com>]

Hi,

Yesterday, a system running ActiveMQ (queues only, no topics or durable
subscribers) backed by the Kaha persistence store blue screened and on
restart, ActiveMQ failed with the following stacktrace:

java.io.EOFException

Deleting .activemq-data allowed the system to restart, but we lost all
persisted data.  

A couple of questions:
1) ActiveMQ/Kaha should tolerate unexpected shutdowns, so corruption of Kaha
is likely due to a bug?
2) Is there any way to recover without deleting the entire datastore.  Can a
journal or index be deleted?
3) Are there any settings in ActiveMQ that allow it to recover or
automatically flush the persistent store so that it can tolerate corrupt
data?

We have the corrupt .activemq-data folder for analysis.

Thanks for the help,
Stirling

System details:

JAR: activemq-all-5.1-SNAPSHOT.jar dated 02/20/2008

Here's our activemq.xml:

<beans

    <!-- Allows us to use system properties as variables in this

    <bean

    <broker xmlns="http://activemq.org/config/1.0" brokerName="localhost"
dataDirectory="file:./.activemq-data" useShutdownHook="false">

        <!-- Use the following to configure how ActiveMQ is exposed in JMX
-->
        <managementContext>
            <managementContext createConnector="false"/>
        </managementContext>

        <persistenceAdapter>
            <amqPersistenceAdapter syncOnWrite="false"

        </persistenceAdapter>

        <!-- The transport connectors ActiveMQ will listen to -->
        <transportConnectors>
            <transportConnector name="vm" uri="vm://localhost"/>
        </transportConnectors>

    </broker>
</beans>

And the relevant Spring-2.0 configuration:

    <!--

    <bean id="brokerService"
class="org.apache.activemq.xbean.BrokerFactoryBean">

        <property name="start" value="false" />
    </bean>
    
    <!--
     | Factory for creating connections to embedded ActiveMQ broker.
     | The redelivery process is implemented by application code, so disable
on the connection.
     +-->
    <bean id="activeMqConnectionFactory"
class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory" scope="singleton"
depends-on="brokerService">
        <property name="brokerURL"
value="vm://localhost?jms.redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries=-1"/>
    </bean>
