Andrew Stitcher commented on QPID-5485:
---------------------------------------
Jakub,
TBH honest I think that either we unlink the files immediately, in which case
we can be pretty sure that whenever we start a new broker any page queue files
that might exist correspond to an error that needs fixing, or we allow the
create paged queue operation to truncate any previous file that might exist.
Any other behaviour isn't really robust enough in the face of brokers that
crash and restart.
I agree that having hidden file usage is very admin unfriendly, but it is a
fact of life on Unix (isn't it?).
There is perhaps another approach to the combination of this issue and
QPID-5486: Put all the paged queue files in a subdirectory of the broker
directory, that would avoid the need to check for an existing file as the only
files that could overwritten would be a paged queue of the same name from a
previous run, which would not be a problem. It would also allow you to call you
paged queue lock or systemId etc.

> Description of problem:
> When deleting a paged queue, the broker does not delete the underlying file
> it created in /var/lib/qpidd directory.
> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
> MRG-M 3.0 EA (qpid-cpp 0.22-29)
> How reproducible:
> 100%
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 0. service qpiddd restart
> 1. qpid-send -a "PagedQueue; {create:always, delete:always, node: {
> x-declare: {arguments: {'qpid.paging':'True' }}}}"
> 2. file /var/lib/qpidd/PagedQueue
> Actual results:
> /var/lib/qpidd/PagedQueue: data
> Expected results:
> /var/lib/qpidd/PagedQueue: cannot open `/var/lib/qpidd/PagedQueue' (No such
> file or directory)
