Subject: /gnu/store/ corruption on crash
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:11:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160222221125.2d5e9c07@scratchpost.org> (raw)
Hi,
I've got a problem on an X200 where, after I did standby 3 times, it will wake up fine but at the first larger disk access hang the machine.
This E-Mail is not directly about that problem.
However, this time, guix did package install when that happened and now /gnu/store/ is corrupted.
/gnu/store/7k7wicjr8rpb65h2f33j8ibpmffwjp6d-fontconfig-2.11.94.tar.bz2.drv now has 0 Byte.
Should it be possible for that to happen?
UNIX journalling filesystems in general only provide guarantees for filesystem metadata, not file content. Is this taken into account? (f.e. don't overwrite existing file but rather create new file, rename atomically; is fsync done when important?)
