But, it is also possible that the Lotus Notes database (NSF) file may be corrupted due to any of the following reasons:


Dirty shutdown of a system
Operating System Issue
Lotus Notes interacting with incompatible program
Failure of hardware component
NSF file header corruption
Application or software malfunction

One more reason of the corruption in Lotus Notes data is damaged RRV bucket. The abbreviation of RRV is Record Relocation Vector. It is a kind of table that points to the Notes in Lotus Notes Database. When this vector corrupted, an error message “RRV bucket is corrupt” appears on the screen. Generally, this error pops up when you try to open the mails and this RRV bucket attempts to locate specific notes or object identifiers in the Notes database. RRV is considered badly damaged when the database fails to open any objects for creating new replica.
