When DAOS is enabled, Domino always stores attachment data in locations outside of Notes databases and may store data outside of the Domino data directory (for example, on an external drive if the DAOS repository is there). When any of these external locations for data becomes inaccessible, Domino reverts to storing data in a Notes database until the problem is corrected.

• Check that the storage location (repository) specified for .NLO files is accessible. There may be a temporary power outage, powered-off external drive, lost network connection, or similar problem with the machine or device.
• Make sure that the specification for the storage location is correct in the Domino Server document.
• To correct any instances of attachment data incorrectly stored in databases while desired locations were temporarily inaccessible, compact the databases (copy-style compact).
• Restart the Domino server.
