Description Akhil Laddha 2008-10-22 08:07:21 UTC
Evolution 2.25.1 

Evolution completed migration of folders which are on 'On this computer', it shows mails of a folders. But when i clicked on other folder, it always displays 'storing folder' in status bar.  I waited for almost an hr but then also it didn't show any mail. 

Gdb traces of evolution which i have taken during the process with some time intervals

It seems it's trying to delete one message in the folder, but isn't able to.
  • #14 cdb_sql_exec
    at camel-db.c line 64

But waiting in sqlite, somehow. See thread 18. I do not know what to do with that.
Maybe some changes around bug #558883 would help here to. Maybe not. (I'm thinking about transactions, but I do not know whether srag added there any finally.)

Nothing to blame apart from FSYNC/ext3/*. Fsync(fd) doesn't sync that file, instead takes care of integrity of Entire disk :-) Which takes away everyting.

So, for Migration, we moved to in-memory tables. Im working out a solution, like what FF did to overcome my moving to a async-io-vfs for sqlite.

Comment 4 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-01-05 03:45:56 UTC
I'm going in with a in-memory sqlite journaling to over come this for now.
