Masternode error: [error] Could not drop tables: database is locked

[Pietro Speroni]

Hello, it is a few days that my masternode keep dropping off the list. The first time I had to restart it. The next ones the I could not understood what the problem was since it seemed to be running ok. It was synced, and sentinel did not show any problem. Eventually I discovered in the sentinel log this final message:

[error] Could not drop tables: database is locked​

But when we install the masternode I don't remember that we are given any control over a DB (like when you install a wordpress, for example). So I am lost as to what I should do to make sure the masternode has all the permissions it need (to operate on the DB and in particular to drop tables).

What should I do? (Right now this masternode has been going on without a payment for 13 days. If we could fix the situation without going back to the beginning of the queue I would appreciate.)

Many thanks.


Actually When I run sentinel I get an error. Not sure why I did not notice before:
