GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300401
Epiphany crashes on disk full
Last modified: 2009-12-04 04:44:09 UTC
Steps to reproduce: Well, without much notice or even any saved state or recovery, epiphany disappears and crashes when the homedir is full. this relates to other bugs in the Gnome desktop where it in general fills your homedir with cache files. Stack trace: No stacktrace, as I'm not tempted to try and repeat this due to how it loses data (saved passwords and usernames for bugzilla disappeared, for example) Other information:
For passwords and cookies, this is mozilla's fault, see for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226970 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228978 .

Not much we can do here. For all data that epiphany itself saves, we check for any errors. This crash must have been in gecko code, but without a trace it's impossible to say...
Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/products/epiphany/+bug/48604 "I was using my PC, and was downloading a file. My disk space ran out, and so I closed my browser, deleted some old files and freed up a GB. When I restarted Epiphany, the bookmarks were gone. I tried importing ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf, but none of my bookmarks came back. I am using Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS with the latest security updates. ... I did notice that there was an update for Epiphany, but I don't think I had it running during the update, I think this happened after... But I never noticed the ephy-bookmarks.xml file in there before. Either way, both files were 0 bytes, as well as the 'backup' files ephy-bookmarks.xml.backup-LmhzJl.xml and bookmarks.rdf.backup-w5Qamk.rdf"
