"Error reading from database, shutting down."

What can i do? Any advice?
thank you guys in advance.

I had the similar issue caused by corrupted database around a year ago. Nothing helped except the building copy of blockchain on my SSD from the scratch. To accelerate IBD procedure I have used the following entries in my bitcoin.conf file : dbcache=1/4 RAM (for instance if RAM = 16 Gb then dbcache=4096) rest of RAM is reserved for OS  operations and add blocksonly=1.
