#1563 closed defect (fixed)

call close() after completing version file write

Reported by: sayamindu Owned by: alsroot
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone: Unspecified
Component: Sugar Version: Git as of bugdate
Severity: Unspecified Keywords: r! olpc-0.84
Cc: dsd Distribution/OS: Unspecified
Bug Status: New

Description

At OLPC, we are consistently seeing failures due to unclean shutdowns immediately after the datastore has been created. While I have tried to address some of the issues in #1562 I just noticed that close() is not being called for the version file in the datastore.

Python will automatically close the file when the reference count of the object drops to 0, which in this case will happen at the return point of the function.

The fsync changes may be worthwhile though, but they should be accompanied with a comment explaining why this particular file deserves the special treatment.

  • Keywords r! added; r? removed

Don't we cope for the issue described here with setting the version to 0 if we can not read the file?

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

While we should check whether we recover well from crashes at random points during the migration, this ticket was about newly created data stores and thus should have been fixed by the commit mentioned above. Feel free to reopen if you can trigger a data store failure by corrupting any of the files it creates during first run.
