Hi all...
I have been suffering from a mean file_deleter problem on my project
ever since upgrading to (a slightly old) version of trunk. Before you
start, file_deleter hasn't changed since. I switched from server_stable
because I needed the newer CUDA stuff.
Anyway, the problem is that if a client fails to return a workunit
because of an error (for instance, divide by zero) the file doesn't
exist, but the problem is that the directory doesn't always exist
either, so the program doesn't get as far as the "if client error, don't
expect a file to necessarilly exist" code, and as a result, it keeps
trying (no sign of the hour or even 5 second wait) to delete the file,
until it has filled the disk with it's log! The obvious choice here
would be to check if the workunit failed at the directory error stage as
well. I have a patch to do this if you're interested.
