[SourceJammer-devel] Yet more on missing files

[Albert M. <amo...@tr...>]

Well, what I've said in the previous message gets a new twist. The log line
talking about the "remove-file" instead of "remove-file-share" is still strange,
but now the problems appear with other files that are not shared, so this is
really spooky.

A file created two weeks ago, with a newer version checked in on the 2nd of
August, and whose XML reads:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SJFileSysNode SJVersion="2.1.0.1"><Info NodeName="CenterForm.java"
FileName="21869" CreatedDate="1122566283019" NodeType="2" FileType="2"
HistoryStorageType="1" IsLimitHistorySize="true" MaxHistorySize="-1"
MasterFileID="21736"
LatestVersionFileName="27834"><Comment/></Info><Children><Child NodeName="1"
FileName="27495" UniqueID="27497" NodeType="3" CreatedDate="1122566283019"
SourceSize="1479" CreatedUser="amoliner" VersionType="1"/><Child NodeName="2"
FileName="27832" UniqueID="27834" NodeType="4" CreatedDate="1122980282639"
SourceSize="1480" CreatedUser="amoliner"
VersionType="1"/></Children><Parents><Parent
ParentID="2992"/></Parents><RemovedParents/></SJFileSysNode>

will throw exceptions when you try to get it, or compare the repository with the
local version, or check it in (after a check-out), because the source/27832 file
isn't in the disk. However, a view operation works (!).

The server where SJ runs has not suffered any shut down, nor is accessed by
anyone who could have deleted the files. Unless the backup program went nuts and
restored a backup from the tape instead of saving the data in it, I cannot guess
how the files went away.
