Yesterday I came across following error while enabling fill factor for my database server, when I was trying to write article SQL SERVER – 2008 – 2005 – Rebuild Every Index of All Tables of Database – Rebuild Index with FillFactor. The error was Msg 5834, and the fix turned out to be one small change.

SQL SERVER - FIX : ERROR : Msg 5834, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The affinity mask specified conflicts with the IO affinity mask specified. Use the override option to force this configuration

I ran following T-SQL script and it gave me error.

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'fill factor', 90
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO

In result pan following error showed up.

Msg 5834, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The affinity mask specified conflicts with the IO affinity mask specified. Use the override option to force this configuration.

Fix/Solution/Workaround:

Add option OVERRIDE along with RECONFIGURE command.

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
sp_configure 'fill factor', 90
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO

    Hi Pinal,

    Brilliant post as ever, the ‘WITH OVERRIDE’ option has sorted out my problem.

    What does the actual error mean though?
    How about a post demystifying Affinity Mask , I/O Mask and parallelism?
