# Nix Store Corruption {#sec-nix-store-corruption}
|
||||
|
||||
After a system crash, it's possible for files in the Nix store to become
|
||||
corrupted. (For instance, the Ext4 file system has the tendency to
|
||||
replace un-synced files with zero bytes.) NixOS tries hard to prevent
|
||||
this from happening: it performs a `sync` before switching to a new
|
||||
configuration, and Nix's database is fully transactional. If corruption
|
||||
still occurs, you may be able to fix it automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
If the corruption is in a path in the closure of the NixOS system
|
||||
configuration, you can fix it by doing
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-rebuild switch --repair
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause Nix to check every path in the closure, and if its
|
||||
cryptographic hash differs from the hash recorded in Nix's database, the
|
||||
path is rebuilt or redownloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also scan the entire Nix store for corrupt paths:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any corrupt paths will be redownloaded if they're available in a binary
|
||||
cache; otherwise, they cannot be repaired.
