         Typical reasons for an error here include:
         * The parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
         * The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
         * The device is out of space.
         * The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
         Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
