    Hi,<br>
    <br>
        I am facing some serious issues with mnesia database. We have an
    erlang application using mnesia database as back-end. The
    application runs on the hardware and the IP address of the hardware
    will be changing based on its connectivity and so the erlang node
    name. Some times as soon as the node changes am getting an error log
    as given below and the VM restarts repeatedly. But if I delete the
    mnesia related files and restart again, application runs smoothly.
    For me data reliability and persistence are the prime concern so I
    can not go with the above mentioned method. Can somebody kindly
    assist me how to resolve this issue with out deleting mnesia schema.<br>
    <br>
