Yes, this error indicates inconsistencies in Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) files within your collection:
- Missing file chunks in the TFVC database (tbl_content table stores files in 1MB chunks).
- Corrupted TFVC metadata due to prior database issues or incomplete repairs.
- SQL-level corruption—especially if DBCC CHECKDB was run with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS, which can remove chunks and trigger this error.
You may consider:
- Restore from a clean backup:
- If you suspect corruption, restoring from a backup taken before any repair operations may help.
- Identify and remove corrupted files:
- This is risky but technically, if restoring isn’t viable, you may need to locate the affected TFVC files and delete them manually
