Posted: Dec 08, 2010 06:29:05 AM I would like to scrub some very old events from a VOB.
Some of the events might be bed due to a problem I faced with this VOB few years ago.
Now, when I am running the vob_scurbber, it doesn't scrub those events.

What can I do to solve this issue?

But be careful.

You can only select the kind of events, for example mklabel, and all the events will be scrubbed.

You can not distinguish between good and bad events.

Registered: Sep 28, 2005 02:20:11 PM It would probably help if you defined what a "bad" event is in this case... Please also note that some events can't be scrubbed or the database would not be able to be reformatted (events are used to find elements/versions/etc to dump...).

Registered: May 05, 2009 09:45:16 AM This is exactly the problem. I am trying to create a new replica for this VOB and the operation core dumps when trying to dump a certain event. It is a mklabel event which was created on October 2008. If I had a way to remove it than I am guessing the mkreplica would work.
