Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-25 22:49:18 UTC 
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/222957

"Trigger the issue:
Make sure the homefilesystem is full.
In nautilus, click "add bookmark" from the menu or press Ctrl-D. The bookmark briefly appears in the bookmark sidebar, but then disappears again.
"Edit bookmarks" shows the dialog but says "No bookmarks defined"."

The summary should probably read "doesn't display a warning when trying to add a bookmark and there is no disk space", or "nautilus can destroy bookmark file when it runs out of disk space".

It also appears that bookmark file can also be corrupted (truncated to 0 byte) even when they are not edited (just used) while disk is full. I blame nautilus. In my case bookmarks just disappeared while navigating filesystem.

It's OK that bookmark file can not be edited or appended when disk is full, but existing bookmarks should not be lost in any case.

This is a data loss type of bug.

In my case all bookmarks got lost when the home filesystem was full.

Luckily there was a .gtk-bookmarks~
Comment 3 Hendrik Lönngren 2010-02-09 11:14:38 UTC 
I think the problem lies here: http://git.gnome.org./browse/nautilus/tree/src/nautilus-bookmark-list.c#n523
The third argument of g_file_replace, make_backup, is set to FALSE here.
