Check the clients. This is a largely harmless error, as it's just 
telling you that it's fixed the problem. This will generally need to be 
fixed when a client disconnects in the middle of a transaction without 
a proper logout. Are the clients being well behaved? Is there only one 
instance of the daemon running?

Large stores can take a while. It needs to scan all the data, and put a 
few bytes about each file in memory.
