Error 801

Severity Level 20

Message Text

Process %d tried to remove resource lock it doesn't hold on buffer 0x%1x - %S_PAGE.

Explanation

This error occurs when a SQL Server process attempts to unlock a resource that is not currently locked.

Note This error is not usually indicative of data loss, but it can be accompanied by other, more serious, errors.

Action

Address other errors if they exist, especially if problems are reported by DBCC CHECKDB or DBCC NEWALLOC. If this error still persists, contact your primary support provider.

Restarting SQL Server can often clear up this error, but may not help in determining the cause of the problem.

If this error occurs on its own, contact your primary support provider, and have the output from all SQL Server error logs, from DBCC CHECKDB and DBCC NEWALLOC, from sp_configure and xp_msver, and information about the server hardware configuration available for review.
