-    <title>Database hangs</title>

-    <para>
-      If Nix or Fix appear to hang immediately after they are started, Nix's
-      database is probably <quote>wedged</quote>, i.e., some process died while
-      it held a lock on the database.  The solution is to ensure that no other
-      processes are accessing the database and then run the following command:
-    </para>
-
-    <screen>
-      $ db_recover -e -h <replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/var/nix/db</screen>
-
-    <para>
-      Here, <replaceable>prefix</replaceable> should be replaced by Nix's
-      installation prefix.
