[Bug 107847] File content changed to hashes at crash or power loss
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=107847 --- Comment #11 from j...@apache.org --- the info with USB drives and external disks is interesting , it goes in the direction of which file system is used. Nevertheless it is really a damn issue and not easy to reproduce. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=107847 --- Comment #8 from bmarcelly marce...@club-internet.fr --- The thread indicated in Comment 4 lists the OS and OpenOffice versions found in the english forum. In the french forum we have a similar pattern : - mostly Windows, from XP to Windows 8.1, some Linux, a few Mac. This reflects the omnipresence of MS-Windows on the market - any version of OpenOffice up to the most recent. - people complain because they have lost a document they have been working on for weeks, for example a student work. So this is never a simple one-page document. I don't think it is reproducible at will (and I could not reproduce). Killing the soffice process is not same as pulling the plug from mains. Developers should inspect the processes of document saving and document restoration, keeping in mind that the computer may stop anytime. It could be that during the restore process, due to incorrect data, OpenOffice does not really restore but writes null bytes instead, effectively destroying the last save of the document. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tried on Mac, create a new file, edit save, edit - kill the process. Restart and the document recovery recovered the document successful. I would expect the same when the computer turned off. Is it possible to get further information about the used system, file system (nfs, hpfs, etc.)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=107847 bmarcelly marce...@club-internet.fr changed: What|Removed |Added CC||marce...@club-internet.fr --- Comment #5 from bmarcelly marce...@club-internet.fr --- We have the same flow of lamentations about document losses in the french forum. The user says that its computer ran out of power and after that its document opens with the ASCII filter. An analysis shows that it contains only bytes of value zero. The corruption appears when working on any application : Writer, Calc , Impress, Base. And also on the most recent versions of Apache OpenOffice. The french forum has a specific section on recovery. Browse it : https://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/viewforum.php?f=35 Here is the translation of most thread titles: document rempli de dieses = document filled with hashes fichier corrompu = file corrupted erreur de format = format error (message at opening) perte de document = document loss filtre ASCII = ASCII filter Most users now work on a laptop, this increases the probability of power loss. The environment and usage of a computer by an ordinary user is not as clean as for a power user like the developers. This is a Quality issue. OpenOffice must be reliable enough for its ordinary users, or they will switch to another Office suite. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
