I don't agree that this is an "easy workaround."
Consider what must be done to simply touch the file...
First I have to get the file name. The best way to
get it is from the log for mythbackend, after I've
tried to delete the non-file. Attempting to delete
the non-file causes my frontend to hang, forcing me to
restart gdm every time this happens. Then I have to
SSH into the box to retrieve the file and type in a
file name with, what, 30 characters? Get one
character out of place and go through the whole thing
again.
Again, I understand that the developers were trying to
insure that people didn't lose metadata unnecessarily.
But the "solution" that has resulted is completely
unacceptable for some of us, and the "easy workaround"
is anything but easy.
