Suresh Thalamati commented on DERBY-1376:
-----------------------------------------
XSLAT.D=Log directory {0} is not empty. Please make sure specified logDevice
location is correct.
Check for the log dir at the specified location is empty is added as part of
DERBY-1039 fix. Although one can create a database at a log device location
if the log dir is empty, I think throwing an error that says log dir is NOT
EMPTY if there are files in the log directory can be misleading/dangerous.
Say if the log directory at the user specified location actually belong s
to an another database, if user deletes
the files by accident it can lead a inconsistent/corrupt databases.
I understant error message is not a real protection. But I think if we say
it is not empty ; users may delete the files in hurry to setup a new database.
My hope is , if they see a error that says log directory exists. They may
specify a different location or make sure that no
other database is using the specified log location path before deleting the
log directory.
Thanks

> The message XSLAT.D (String LOG_SEGMENT_EXIST = "XSLAT.D";) states:
> XSLAT.D=Log directory {0} exists. Please make sure specified logDevice
> location is correct.
> But it seems by the source code that the problem is not that this directory
> exists, but the fact that it is not empty (// make sure log directory is
> empty, in LogToFile.java). So it seems to me that the following message would
> be better:
> XSLAT.D=Log directory {0} is not empty. Please make sure specified logDevice
> location is correct.
