Not sure when this started, but after several restarts following OH3 implementation I’ve had StartPersist items not update.
My mapdb.persist file is configured as:
Strategies {
default = everyUpdate
}
Items {
// persist all items once a day and on every change and restore them from the db at startup
* : strategy = everyChange, restoreOnStartup
}

Which is bothersome as the path /var/lib/openhab2 of course no longer exists. Any thoughts on a fix?
I just installed MapDB an it seems to be working, see this DEBUG output.

On which snapshot # are you? I’m on #1978 Did this eror occur after installing mapDB or after a restart?
Your mapdb.persist files does NOT persist a Group, it is set for ALL items!
I was having some issues with this after migrating to OH3 but didn’t test it thoroughly, so I cannot say when it really happened. I had mapdb installed previously and it moved over with my migration, so I had not changed any configuration up to this point.
Yes, when I was looking through this I saw that persistence was set for all! I did try to set the item selection in mapdb.persist to the group StartPersist only, but that did not work either
Thanks @Bruce_Osborne. The issue looks similar, but I have a feeling not quite the same. My log entry
" Failed to save history java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /var/lib/openhab2 "
Suggests there is a path hard coded that is a relic of OH2?
No that issue doesn’t apply here.
It was commented because it has been difficult to find the real cause and at first we thought it was MapDB.
You can look at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/8798 for details
@DaveL
Have you migrated from OH 2.4 or ealier version to OH 3.0? Or are you using a new (empty) installation of OH3?
I run into the same error by migration from 2.4 to 2.5.8.
My only solution was to delete mapdb related files from \userdata\persistence\mapdb and start with an empty mapdb.
For me it looks like there is a difference between OH 2.4 and OH 2.5x (and maybe 3.x) about handling mapdb entries. I think in my mapdb was a no longer allowed entry causes the error.
So it has been over a month since this problem has surfaced. I’m now running 3.0.0 S2039 (after running M3) and in all of this time, mapdb continues to not function.
I’ve uninstalled the binding, deleted it’s storage files…several times in fact. And it continues to do nothing. Is there something else I can try???
If you are seeing this problem although the binding got reinstalled and all old persisted files got deleted I’d file an issue on github. However, do you still see this message Failed to save history java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /var/lib/openhab2, or is made just doing nothing?
And NOTHING (!) shows up in the log files beyond an INFO entry:
[port.EventAdminConfigurationNotifier] - Sending Event Admin notification (configuration successful) to org/ops4j/pax/logging/Configuration
Which seems to indicate only that I’ve changed my log:set criteria.

Failed to save history java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /var/lib/openhab2, or is made just doing nothing?
My logs no longer contain this note, so perhaps something was cleaned up from the mapdb installation files.
It just seems that mapdb is not functioning at all, but its log files are recreated everytime I delete them, so it is clearly doing something.
There are several github issues surrounding mapdb out there already. I’ll continue to look to see if one of them is most relevant to what seems to be happening in my case. I’ve not opened a github issue before, that would be new territory!
