254019 - deleted config file when the disk is full

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Mozbot, defect)

Description

[Martin Isak Jansen]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.51 (X11; Linux i686; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: 

If the disk mozbot runs from is full, mozbot behaves strange. Example: The 
Quotes module only shows one quote and says it's the only one in the database 
that runs at the same host. As this behaviour was to rare for me I decided to do 
a nasty ctrl-c kill on mozbot. I do not know if this also ocures when you use 
the propper "shutdown please" command. I suppose mozbot then will try to save 
the conf file before the prosess ends. But as the disk is full this does not 
happend and you get an empty conf file.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Fill up the disk mozbot runs on.
2.Do the nasty kill with ctrl-c on mozbot.
3.Mozbot quits
4.Config file is empty.

Actual Results:  
The config file is empty.

Expected Results:  
I don't know what mozbot should do in this case. It is dificult to save data to 
a full disk, but it is neather nice to lose config files.

Stupid bug. It should now fail without deleting the file...
