--------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> NFFS - Restore fails when an object from a GCed area is referenced
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYNEWT-164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-164
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: NFFS
> Reporter: Christopher Collins
> Assignee: Christopher Collins
> Fix For: v0_8_0_beta2
>
>
> (Credit for debugging this goes to Paul and Marko)
> At the end of file system detection, a final sweep through the hash is
> performed. During this sweep, any deleted inodes and their children are
> removed from the hash. If an inode's child (data block if file; child inode
> if directory) is not present in the hash, the procedure terminates
> prematurely, leaving the hash in a corrupt state.
> The sweep process should expect some child objects to be missing from the
> hash. Since the child objects belong to a deleted inode, they are subject to
> garbage collection. When an NFFS area is garbage collected, it may leave
> some objects on disk with invalid references (this is not a problem, because
> these objects are themselves deleted).
> The fix is to ignore this error during the sweep.
