Hi Paul,

I am facing the same issue:

Error: 845, Severity: 17, State: 1

Time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 4 for page (1:407399), database ID 7.

I get this in eventvwr, the time stamp is same as finish time of Reindex job, also we are running the Veritas backup(os backup) on this.

Environment:

VMWare

OS:Windows 2003 sp2

Sql: MSSqlServer 2000 3a Standard Edtion

impact: sql server is non responsive, only reboot is solving issue.

Observation:

1. will it solve if we upgrade to Sql server SP4

2. is this happening due to Veritas is using heavy IO and causing sql to nonresponsive.

3. Any other issue?

*How to prove that:-)

Please help , its critical for us.

Appriciate you help.

Thanx.

Vinay
