Subject: Bug: notmuch new chokes on dangling symlinks and quits
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2014 14:18:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140126131846.GA10844@boo.workgroup> (raw)
Dear notmuch developers,
notmuch new quits operation if it hit's a dangling symlink:
Error reading file /home/grfz/notmuch2/Mail/findex/cur/123456789.684055.mairix:2,: No such file or directory
Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying
to read or write a file Processed 85 total files in 1s (47
files/sec.)
I consider this to be a bug. Instead notmuch should simply
ignore the symlink.
This is especially problematic while indexing a huge amount of
mail the first time and notmuch hits the dangling symlink at an
early stage of indexing.
Ciao, Gregor
