Calendar Grey March 31, 2023
Dist Mageia Esm H88
Recent xapian updates address a severe database corruption problem that can arise in situations of insufficient disk space.
Xapian database corruption on disk full is possible

Summary

Xapian database corruption on disk full is possible. It doesn't happen in every case as ENOSPC needs to happen on a particular operation during the commit but then not happen on a repeat attempt at that operation. (bdo#1032398)
