Check failed: mdb_status == 0 (2 vs. 0) No such file or directory

Question

I received the following error while I was training the data. I have tried all the solutions given on the internet and nothing seems to work for me. I have checked paths and size of the lmdb files are non-zero. But the problem still exists. I have no idea how to solve this issue.

You have not set your paths to the LMDB directories correctly. Go to the directory where you have created your LMDBs and get the absolute paths using this command:

$ readlink -f <LMDB_directory_name>

Use this path, it should solve your problem.
