Yes, you can blow away both the data and commitlog directories and restart, but can you try these first to troubleshoot?
1. make a copy of the commitlog directory 2. downgrade to 0.8 with no other changes, to see if it's something on the new read path 2a. if 0.8 starts up then we will fix the read code in trunk 2b. if 0.8 doesn't start up either, remove the data directory but NOT commitlog, and restart. this will cause commitlog to be replayed -- with luck whatever is causing the problem is still in there, so if it breaks again, we have a reproducible case Thanks!
