-----------------------------------
Summary: DefaultFilesCache leaks closed filesystems
Key: VFS-545
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-545
Project: Commons VFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.1
Reporter: Bernd Eckenfels
Assignee: Bernd Eckenfels
Priority: Minor
The org.apache.commons.vfs2.cache.DefaultFilesCache does not remove the
filesystem specific cache if a filesystem gets cleared. This leads to the
problem that instances if the FileSystem kept alive after the FileProvider has
closed the filesystem. This is not so much a problem for a smaller number of
filesystems configured for a prefix, but it is a problem for layered or virtual
filesystems which get created and destroyed. (See also VFS-544). The more
advanced filesystem caches support clearing the keys (but have other races I
think).
The behaviour is somewhat documented "lifetime of the FileSystemManager", but I
don't think it is expected or required.
