I'm currently using ext4, and it still happens, so it's not an XFS issue. Besides, I don't see any reason why aMule should be constantly writing to amule.conf, since it's a file that should never change. Perhaps the [Statistics] section should be kept in a different file. Also, the files which are constantly being written, like the *.part files, never get lost. So I guess it can be aMule's fault.

Hello Marc,

Package: amule
Version: 2.1.3-1
Severity: normal

Every time my computer loses power unexpectedly (it happens sometimes, since I 
don't have
an UPS) while aMule is running, aMule configuration is lost when I start it 
again. All
my categories disappear, my screen layout... basically all the things kept in 
amule.conf
get lost when aMule is not properly closed.

Since I'm using a decent journaling filesystem (XFS) and all the other programs 
seem to work
fine, I assume it's aMule's fault.

It is not quite annoying, but I have to keep a backup version of the config 
file to avoid
losing my preferences every time.

XFS applies this policy when resuming from an unexpected unmount of
the fs (such as in power loss): delete (or empty) any file in a middle
of a transition. So, since the amule files are constantly written,
they have higher probability to be removed/emptied after reboot.

That's not an amule problem, but an intrinsic XFS functionality. That
said, I'm closing this report.

Regards,
